The Doors: Vinyl is VG- Jacket is VG Strange Days: Vinyl is VG+ Jacket is VG Inner Sleeve is G+ Waiting For The Sun: Vinyl is VG Jacket is VG+ Inner Sleeve is G+ Morrison Hotel: Vinyl is VG Jacket is VG+ L.A. Woman: Vinyl is VG Jacket is VG+ Soft Parade: Vinyl is VG++ Jacket is G+ (no splits or rips, but very evident water damage on the printing) please see grading descriptions below NOTES: Morrison Hotel is a 1st Pressing.The Doors is a pressing from 1970 and if it came with a signature Elektra inner sleeve then it's missing from this copy. Strange Days is a late 70s pressing - it has the iconic inner sleeve, but with terrible splitting. Waiting is a mid-70s pressing. L.A. Woman actually plays a solid VG+ on side one and it's only side two that is "VG" as I have it noted above. The Soft Parade sounds shockingly good given the condition of the cover. All of the records are entirely free of any deep scratches. Sleeve marks, scuffs, and a few hairlines scratches will be evident on most of them except for L.A. Woman and The Soft Parade which both look excellent cosmetically. I have not performed any sort of deep-groove cleaning on these records so if you own a VPI (or equivalent) then you might be able to improve the quality of playback on L.A. Woman (and others). Please review the pictures for further details on the condition of the jackets. Your records will be shipped in a cardboard LP mailer and wrapped in shipper's wrap inside for further moisture protection. The record will be removed from the jacket and placed in the inner sleeve outside of it so that it doesn't slide around inside the jacket and create damage during transit. If the record has a unique picture sleeve the record will be placed in a generic sleeve for shipping. If you have any special packing requests contact me BEFORE making payment so that I can adjust the shipping costs accordingly. Please do not bother to send me a message with packing instructions after payment as it will be disregarded. REGARDING SHIPPING: The default shipping option that you see is Media Mail which is inexpensive, but sometimes unpredictable with no guaranteed delivery time. I have shipped over 2000 records using Media Mail without any hassles, but there have been a few instances where the record took a month to arrive and was stuck at a sorting facility for two or more weeks. If you want a faster method with a guaranteed delivery time I suggest that you choose the Priority Mail option. Please review our other listings for other vintage vinyl titles that may be of interest to you. My Grading System Definitions: NM - 10/10 playback quality.
