The Doors- The Soft Parade- US First Pressing Vg+/Ex
ARTIST: The Doors
TITLE: The Soft Parade
LABEL: Elektra Records
NUMBER: EKS-75005
MONO/STEREO: Stereo
SPECIAL PRESSING INFO: First U.S. Pressing Gold label
GRADE (Sleeve): Vg+
GRADE (RECORD): Ex
Condition Detail:
Sleeve is in good shape with the spine having some scuffing throughout. The cover looks great with a few spots of record rash. The top of the sleeve has begun to rip apart.
Vinyl is in outstanding shape with only a few micro scratches, otherwise a perfect copy.
Purchased at estate sale. Record cleaned with VPI HW27 Typhoon before grading, sleeved with archival liner and shipped using Bags Unlimited Mighty Mailers.
Played with a AT12S Shibata with NAD pre into anaragon 8008 with PSB Stratus Goldi speakers. A detailed and visceral testing system.
We generally undergrade our records due to how detailed the stylus is. Small noise on our system will probably not replicate on a conical
or elliptical stylus.
This is sold as is. Please look at all info and ask any questions you have before you purchase.
Thank you.
