1967 Orig. Doors Break On Through 7" US Elektra EK-45611 Picture Sleeve 45 Morrison ______________________________
This is the holy grail of Doors / Morrison 45 picture sleeves! As the story goes, Right after The Doors released their first album in 1967, they released 'Break On Through' as a single with the picture sleeve ... and it flopped. No one bought it. Many 45s were discounted or pulled from the shelves for lack of sales. Some of them, but not this one, were given a drill hole on the front to show they had been returned from the retailer. A couple of months later, 'Light My Fire' started getting a lot of airplay so it was released, (without a picture sleeve) and soared to No. 1 on the charts....
Condition: This listing is for the original US sleeve and an original 45 (the same one that originally came in this same sleeve!) The condition of the sleeve is Very Good. There is some light ring wear and some indentations from the record being inside for the last 50+ years. Please look at my pictures - I've taken several of both sides so you will know exactly what to expect. The record and sleeve have a drill hole remainder mark in both that align perfectly. The record is in Excellent condition. It has very few marks on the record and plays through perfectly. It's amazing given how valuable that this record and sleeve are today that at one time, they were remaindered... Please message me with any questions!
Don't be mislead by some dishonest sellers and pay $800 for the reproduction sleeve made last year.
Sleeve will be sent in a very secure package with full insurance. Thanks for looking!
