WAITING FOR THE SUN
THE DOORS
What you are looking at is the American version of Waiting For The Sun by the one and only Doors. Forget about the England mono version, or any other monophonic version that you may run into. This is the hardest to find version. How many times have you seen the American mono version on eBay? I run into a different UK mono version a couple of times a month. I can't recall the last time I've seen an American version on here. I've been told that there were only a 1000 copies of this made in mono, for American release, in 1968. The reason why numbers were so low is because MONO versions, used by AM radio stations, were being flushed away the same year (1968) to make room for STEREO versions being used on FM radio stations. This is the last USA Doors LP pressed in MONO.
Goldmine Record Album Price Guide has this USA domestic wax (EKL 4024) at a $1000.00 price tag for near mint condition! This is almost twice as high as the next most costly record by The Doors (Which would be a $600.00 NM for Strange Days mono - and then $200.00 NM for their debut LP in mono.)
I have been very strict at grading this record (and cover) and VG+ is very appropriate. At this grade, the copy I offer up for auction has a $500.00 value. There are a couple of very light scratches on this record, and there are a couple of light scuff marks. It plays all the way through with minimal background noise. This still holds it's original shine and luster! The labels on both sides of this record are in perfect condition. There's very light ring wear on the back portion of the cover and a slight scuff mark on the back (as I have pictured). The seems are not split, but on a small section, it's showing signs of wear. This is a true gem and will be an investment for the winning bidder. Well taken care of and has been the pride of my collection for quite some time. I now have to let it go because of financial problems. The reserve price is lower than what it's actually worth.
I only accept PayPal for this item... it's quick, it's easy and it's safe. Everything that I ship off will always be well packaged and sent with no delay. I will ship internationally. A record of this magnitude... insurance is a must. Feel free to ask me any questions you may have, I will be more than glad to answer them. Thanks for looking.

Nobody knows, but I bet the number is really low low low. Do you really want to pass this up? I was so overwhelmed with delight when I first ran into this record... now it's your turn.
