Cover; (EX)                                 Vinyl; (M-)
The record has some light wear its Mint - condition but not quiet mint condition. This is the sixth single of The Doors Waiting From The Sun 1968 from their third studio album. This is the real Mono Mix not the stereo fold down that was release in Mono version of the album as most say it doesn't sound like the mono version. You can tell when you hear half way in the song when you hear the gun shot sound. It was just reissued in 2018 for the 50th Anniversary Singles  BoxSet of The Doors first 13 Singles including the Post-Morrison Singles. 
When you play it in the beginning and the end it has light static but disappears on both sides. Other than that it has a few light scratches when you put it in the light you can see them and labels on both sides are clean and bright. You can notice or you can't see it well from far away only up close looks like you bought at the store yesterday. It does come with an original sleeve from Elektra but not the original Promo Black And White Sleeve. Other then that it has no writing, stains, tape, glue, ink, moisture damage, or cracks.This is how it came when I bought it from someone a few years ago. I included some pictures I took  and some scans of the record so you can take a closer look at what's printed on the label. It is a tough find in especially in this condition get it while you can as there are not many copies for sale right now. If you are a Doors fan or a vinyl collector get while you can.  
This is my record grading standards I use, if you don't agree let me know and I will change it or give me your opinion. If you don't like my grading system then do not bid or think before bidding. When you bid like I said bid with confidence. 

RECORD GRADING GUIDELINES

FOR VINYL RECORDS:

Mint (M): Perfect. I will only use this for a brand new, sealed item. Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record. No obvious signs of wear, though there may be very slight imperfections inherent in the vinyl pressing. Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”. Very Good Plus (VG+): Record shows some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps not affecting the sound are OK. Label may have some ring wear or discoloration. Very Good (VG): Record may have some light scratches and scuffs that may affect the sound especially in softer passages of the record, but will not overpower the music. There will be no skips in the record. Very Good Minus (VG-): Record will have scratches and scuffs that will affect the sound. The noise will not detract from enjoying the record. Very old records with significant wear will be listed under this classification. There will be no skips in the record.
FOR LP COVERS & 45 & EP SLEEVES:

Mint (M): Perfect. Again…a brand new, sealed item.

Near Mint (NM): No creases, folds, seam splits, or cut-out holes. Only the slightest signs of handling may be visible. Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”. Very Good Plus (VG+): Slight creases or signs of wear may be visible. May be marred by a cut-out hole or other indication that it was taken out-of-print. Very Good (VG): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible. No splits or tape. Very Good Minus (VG-): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible more so than on a VG cover. Splits or tape may be present. There may be some writing on the cover.
