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

PRICED ACCORDINGLY! IF YOU ARE A STICKLER THIS COPY IS NOT FOR YOU. 

THERE IS HEAVY WEAR TO THE VINYL WITH MANY VISUAL AND FEELABLE SURFACE MARKS THAT WILL CAUSE SURFACE NOISE AND POPS & CLICKS THAT ARE TYPICAL WITH A FAIR GRADING. PLAYS ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT SKIPS, BUT YOU WILL HEAR A LOT OF SURFACE NOISE & CRACKLING. 

And there is WEAR TO THE COVER WITH WRITING ON THE COVER(BLACK MARKER "TRACED" THROUGH THE WORD "DOORS" and WHAT MAY BE A SMALL CIRCULAR CIGARETTE BURN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CELLOPHANE WINDOW. 

AND THERE IS A NAME WRITTEN ON THE PLAIN YELLOW SIDE OF THE INNER SLEEVE. 

If these imperfections are a concern for you, please do not buy it.

This is a true first pressing with NO WRITING CREDIT GIVEN TO JOHN LEE HOOKER for Crawling Kingsnake.

This is a "FAIR" copy of a complete first pressing. 

I recently played this LP and it STILL SOUNDS "OK"! But but you WILL hear A LOT of surface noise. There are no skips just a lost of surface noise & crackling. 

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 FAIR condition, but has visual surface marks that WILL cause surface noise typical with a FAIR grading. 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. There is a large split seam on the bottom, a small split seam on one side and the other side is split from the top going downward about 2/3 of the way. There is a name written in pen on the plain yellow side.

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

The cover is in Good condition with typical wear from age, including, but not limited to dings, scrapes, ring wear, and creases & crumples, all of which are typical with this very delicate cover. There is some fraying at the side opening and around the window(typical with this cover). 

There are no split seams. 

This is a very delicate cover and typically does not age well, but this one is in "GOOD" shape. Honestly, if not for the "cigarette burn" and the writing in black marker through the title DOORS, this cover would be graded higher. This is actually in pretty good shape for this cover. 

I obtained this LP in the 1970s. It was 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.
