$

1,125

Welcome to my auction!!

THIS WEEK: 60’s ROCK LP COLLECTION…

You are looking at a 1st pressing of The Doors’ debut LP titled “The Doors”. This is the 1st MONO Monarch pressing on the gold Elektra Record label. The mono pressing much rarer than the stereo pressing and features audio in the song “The End” that was edited in the stereo version.

This comes with the original inner sleeve! (We do not grade inner sleeves)

RECORD GRADE (Visual grade/Play grade): The LP is visually graded at NM-. This LP is everything you could want from this rare pressing. Shiny with only the faintest of a few markings that DNAP. Absolutely gorgeous vinyl. You won’t find a better looking example of this record. Play grade is NM. Absolutely wonderful and clear sounding LP.

COVER GRADE: NM

This rare cover is still in its original shrink with the original $1.97 price tag on the front! Virtually flawless and protected due to the shrink. The shrink is beginning to tear a bit on the back but otherwise no issues with this cover!! (See pix).

GRADING SYSTEM:

MINT (M): Sealed record. I will never grade anything as mint unless it is sealed, at which time it is presumed to be mint.

NEAR MINT (NM): Typically my top grade. The record or cover will show the most minimal of wear. The record will have top gloss. The cover will be free from any ring wear, splits, or handwriting.

EXCELLENT (EX): Not quite Near Mint but a super clean, desirable record, showing a few superficial markings on the vinyl that do not affect playability and the cover free of splits, and any major ringwear.

VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+): The record or cover will show signs of wear but no significant defects. There may be superficial markings in greater abundance, potential for minor groove wear. None of the above affecting the playability to any great detriment. Cover may show signs of more significant ringwear, minor splits or seam/spine wear.

VERY GOOD (VG): Obvious signs of wear but the record still has life in it. The scratches will be more feelable resulting in minor pops or clicks. Skipping should not occur though at this grade. The cover will show greater signs of wear, (ringwear, splits, writing).

VERY GOOD MINUS (VG-): The record or cover will show moderate to heavy wear. For a common record this would not be an acceptable grade. For an in-demand, rare record it should be considered. Skips may be present as the feelable scratches will be much more prevalent. The cover will show heavy wear.

GOOD (G): Very heavy wear. This grade would only be acceptable if the record is rare enough that you might not see another copy available for sale or it's a rare record at a low price. I will rarely sell a record at this grade
