Description
Hi! You're looking at a great condition vinyl LP which is a FIRST PRESSING of a classic 1968 album on the Elektra Records label by the rock band THE DOORS titled "Waiting for the Sun"--the album features JIM MORRISON on vocals, RAY MANZAREK on organ and piano, ROBBY KRIEGER on guitar and JOHN DENSMORE on drums and includes the classic songs "Hello, I Love You," "Love Street," "Spanish Caravan," "The Unknown Soldier," and others. The LP was issued on the Elektra Records label with the serial number EKS-74024, is a STEREO issue and a 1968 issue and was made in the United States.
This LP is in great overall condition and the vinyl is in VG overall condition with several light scratches and a few hairline marks, some moderate scuffs and a number of light paper scuffs that produce light background noise during a few quieter passages, some light pops during "The Unknown Soldier" final track on side one, and some very light scattered tics and pops in a few spots--THIS LP HAS BEEN SOUND-GRADED IN ITS ENTIRETY and plays MUCH better than it looks and has OUTSTANDING sound that is never obscured by the minor imperfections; the gatefold unipak cover is in VG++ condition with excellent surfaces, some light abrasions on the spine edge and in a few spots on the right edge of the front cover, a few light scuffs and light shelfwear but no other significant imperfections--it's NOT a cutout! The ORIGINAL and RARE ELEKTRA RECORDS INNER SLEEVE is also included and in excellent shape, with small center splits on the edges and a small tear and crease on one of the upper corners.
Please Note: I CAN ship records outside of the United States but will need to get a weight estimate based on the final PACKAGED weight for this record--I cannot ship for the $4.00 U.S. Media Rate and the quoted International Shipping Rate may differ from the final shipping rate due to packaged weight differences so please wait to make payment until a final invoice is received. Thanks!
