The DOORS - THE BEST OF

1973 US original quadraphonic LP, barely played with gleaming vinyl and superb audio quality throughout

Year/Label : 1973 US ELEKTRA  Label number : EQ-5035 Matrix numbers : EQ 5035 A-1 PRC M.Y. 1-11, EQ 5035 B-1 PRC M.Y. 1-11
Little played near mint (NM) condition vinyl - virtually unmarked and it is only with close inspection under a bright light that a couple of extremely faint paper scuff lines come into view on each side of the vinyl - each strictly surface only, purely superficial, and having no impact upon the brilliant sound quality at all.  Pristine labels with not even the usual one or two very faint spindle trails. Clearly this is a record that has been played just a handful of times. The condition of the original US non-laminated cardboard outer sleeve is excellent (EX) - firm unscuffed edges, rigid spine with all spine text perfectly intact, near perfectly defined right angled corners with virtually no rubbing at all, no edge fraying, no seam splits, no creasing, and no discolouration. The only slight blemish is a non-obvious vertical 3cm graze/abrasion just left of middle on the front side. The audio quality is near mint (NM) with no skips, jumps, repeats, sticks, clicks, interference, or distortion and any background crackle is at an absolute minimum (negligible)  - very, very impressive, with great tone, and crystal clear instrumentation and vocals - perfect!   Comes with original and excellent plus (EX+) condition original Quadradisc inner sleeve with no seam splits, no opening edge fraying, barely any creasing, no age discolouration, no handling/storage marks, and remaining fully functional.
Hard to believe that this record is now 49 years of age, with every track a terrific listen.

I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.

Note that I always insert the vinyl into a new plain white poly-lined inner sleeve in order to protect the original during postage, and separate this from the outer sleeve to prevent seam splits. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care in my packaging to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.

 If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 54 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
