💿 DESCRIPTION

This is a highly desirable original Mono pressing of The Doors' debut album, released in 1967. It features the classic gold/tan Elektra label with the large white "E" logo (often referred to as the "Big E" label). The cover is preserved in its original shrink wrap (with a vintage discount price sticker), which is rare for an album of this age. As a Monarch pressing, this copy is particularly prized by audiophiles.

💎 CONDITION vinyl: very good plus (vg+) cover: excellent (ex) 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS

  • Monarch Pressing: The runout groove features the stamped (MR) logo (letters M and R inside a circle), identifying this as a pressing from Monarch Record Mfg. Co. (Los Angeles).

  • Ray Hagerty Mastering: The presence of the "Ray" signature in the deadwax indicates that the lacquer was cut by Ray Hagerty, a renowned mastering engineer at Monarch. His cuts are sought after for their dynamic, "hot" signal levels and deep bass, making this arguably the best-sounding Mono version available.

  • Mono Mix: This is the dedicated Mono mix (EKL-4007), unique for its punchier sound and different edits compared to the Stereo version.

  • Dating: The Delta number Δ10046 corresponds to January/February 1967.
