PLEASE REVIEW ALL PHOTOS AND READ THE ENTIRE ITEM DESCRIPTION CAREFULLY.

This is a first pressing with no writing credit given to John Lee Hooker for Crawling Kingsnake.

This is a pretty decent copy of a complete first pressing. If I could, I would actually grade this package as "Very Good Minus" condition. The cover, LP and Inner Sleeve are all in better than Good Plus condition, but not not as good as Very Good. Right in between at Very Good Minus.

I recently played this LP and it STILL SOUNDS PRETTY DARN GOOD for a 51 year old LP! But but you WILL hear surface noise. 

Up for sale is one(1) THE DOORS - L.A. Woman 1st Pressing LP with the Cellophane Window & Embossed Cover from 1971 on the Elektra Records  (#EKS-75011). There is No Barcode. 

Has the Artisan symbol etched in the deadwax signaling a high quality mastering.

This is the very rare ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING with Rounded Corners, EMBOSSED COVER, SEE THROUGH CELLOPHANE WINDOW WITH THE YELLOW INNER SLEEVE WITH THE WOMAN BEING CRUCIFIED ON THE TELEPHONE POLE and 15 COLUMBUS DRIVE ADDRESS on the BUTTERFLY ELEKTRA LABEL. 

YOU MUST HAVE ALL OF THESE ATTRIBUTES TO HAVE A TRUE FIRST PRESSING.

The vinyl is in Good+ condition,(just a few surface marks shy of a VG grading) but has some visual surface marks that may cause surface noise typical with a Good+ grading. Even with a Good+ grading there is going to be a certain amount of surface noise. More noticeable during the quiet parts. 

Nice fairly clean Elektra Butterfly labels with some spindle marks. The labels are in Good+ condition. 

The Yellow custom inner sleeve is in Good+ condition with typical from age, including, but not limited to dings, scrapes, ring wear, and creases all of which are typical. 

The LP is now being housed in a plain white inner sleeve.

The cover is in Good+ condition(actually very good for this cover that doesn't age well) with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to dings, scrapes, ring wear, and creases all of which are typical with this very delicate cover. There is some fraying around the window(typical with this cover). There is a name written in pen on the rear cover. There are no split seams. 

This is a very delicate cover and typically does not age well, but this one is in great shape.

I obtained this LP in the 1970s. It was gently played many times back in the day. Not played in many years. 

I am thinning out my vinyl collection. This is the actual item you will receive. See the photos and judge for yourself.
