HERE IS A VERY SCARCE ORIGINAL DOORS LP"STRANGE DAYS" ON IT'S EARLIEST POSSIBLE UK MONO 1967 EDITION ON THE POLYDOR PRESSED ELEKTRA DARK RED"ROUGH TEXTURED" LABELS WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE A1/B1 MATRIXES IN FANTASTIC CONDITION-BARELY PLAYED-COMPLETE WITH THE USUALLY MISSING PHOTO/LYRIC INNER AND A FULLY LAMINATED COVER! EKL 4014.
IT WAS REPRESSED MANY TIMES ON A VARIETY OF LABEL DESIGNS WHICH MOST SELLERS PROCLAIM TO BE THE ORIGINAL,BUT HERE IS THE EARLIEST DESIGN THAT WAS ISSUED FOR A VERY SHORT TIME IN 1967 WHEN HARDLY ANYONE BOUGHT IT OR KNEW OF IT'S EXISTENCE DUE TO HARDLY ANY PUBLICITY AND SOME OF THE SONGS CONTROVERSIAL CONTENTS MEANT IT WAS IGNORED BY MOST RADIO STATIONS!
THIS COPY IS JUST ABOUT THE BEST COPY YOU COULD WISH TO FIND-BEAUTIFUL VERY THICK AND QUIET VINYL!
NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH GLEAMING SURFACES,JUST A FEW ULTRA FAINT HAIRLINE SURFACE MARKS IN VERY STRONG LIGHT BUT IT IS CLEAR TO ME THAT THIS COPY HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AND HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE-UPGRADER STANDARD!
THE FEW COPIES THAT WERE SOLD NEARLY 49 YEARS AGO IN 1967 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT AND SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-ROCK LPs LIKE THIS ONE WERE USUALLY ONLY OBTAINED TO SPECIAL ORDER-THIS ONE HAS HARDLY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL WITH THAT "JUST PRESSED"LOOK!NO NASTY DISTORTION AS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF COPIES THAT SURVIVE! NO CLICKS,NO JUMPS,NO STICKS!
