PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING: Please read the entire auction listing, including shipping costs, before writing to ask a question. OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. In order to meet that goal, we will ALWAYS work with our customers on any concerns that may arise. Because of that dedication, there should be no need to open a resolution dispute before working with us. Please keep in mind, we would prefer to continue to provide you the opportunity to acquire the rare music we present each and every week. Payment is required within seven days. We mail all paid items ONE WEEK after auctions end. Our listings are time consuming in detail and we are often traveling to find these gems, which at times delays the delivery schedule by a day or two. We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has become very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our well over 18,000 positive feedback. We use an ultrasonic KLAudio machine and thoroughly clean all records. Each order is carefully packaged by removing the LP from the jacket to avoid seam splits, use of 3 ml plastic cover sleeves over each LP and jacket, cardboard pad inserts, and placed in sturdy record mailers for safe delivery. We take Customer Service seriously, and want you to be satisfied. Please give us 5 stars in each category through the feedback system, and we will be able to effectively continue to fulfill your passion for rare and collectible music! We have served thousands of satisfied customers - far more than our feedback records indicate - and our aim is to continue to do so.

1969... FINAL COLLECTION COPY STILL IN FACTORY CELLOPHANE THICK GATEFOLD COVER
After considerably broadening their sound on Waiting for the Sun, the Doors decided to continue pushing the envelope with their next release, The SOFT PARADE.
Incorporating a nasty but melodic edge, The Soft Parade is easily the most challenging album in the Doors' catalog--if not the most accomplished. Though the hit "Touch Me" and other tracks ("Shaman's Blues," and "Wild Child") hearken back to the band's edgier self, the title track is a multipart rock suite that evokes the awakening of the beast in Jimbo Morrison some of the psychedelic era's most ear-popping. "Wishful Sinful" serves up some uncharacteristic melancholy, while the tour-de-force epic The Soft Parade showcases tuneful varied blends that end in Morrison's gone mad ravings... howling at the moon

"Touch Me" – 3:12
