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.
