The Doors ?– The Soft Parade - Gatefold Vinyl LP - Re-Issue (42079 / EKS 75005)

Will be dispatched using specialist vinyl shipping holders. See the last two photos for examples. These things are SOLID. Your vinyl is safe in the post and even the most vindictive postie would have to go some to bend it!
This one is a bit tricky to identify? There have been TONS on re-issues of it. I've ploughed through all the versions on DiscOgs and, as far as I can tell, it's the one linked to above. Most of the very early releases have the Elektra butterfly style label. This version is German pressed, red label, three language text on the label. Which all matches the version I've linked to (as does the label code). If you think I've got the wrong version, feel free to drop me a note!
Gatefold sleeve. Overall, for it's age, nice condition. A few small marks and wear round the edges. A little wear at the very top and bottom of the spine fold. Vinyl has some light surface marks but didn't affect playback. Test playback (the whole of side A in this case and bits on side B) was very clean.

Selling off all my vinyl. Most of it was bought in the late 80's and through the 90's, into the early 2000's. Most have been played at least a few times. Some perhaps only once or twice. The turntable got packed away around 2003/4, and they have been stored ever since. Always stored indoors. Never in a damp garage or attic.
I'm not a record collector, so I'm not going to try and give exact gradings. I don't have the experience for that and would likely just get it wrong. From what I've read on record collector sites, I would put most of mine somewhere between VG and EX. So assume that sort of condition throughout. If any are towards the bottom or top end of that scale, I'll mention it at the start of the listing. Same with extras and inserts, if they're there, I will mention it.
I do still have my turntable .... for now. So I set it up and have had a quick test listen to anything I've listed. I won't have listened to it start to finish (too many!), but had a short listen to a track or three on each side. If I hear any bad jumps or skips, I won't list it. Obviously, I'll have a good look visually as well. Most will exhibit a little crackle. My turntable is not the greatest on the planet so I don't know how much will be down to my needle. But again, if the crackle is horrendous, I won't list it.
I uploaded the photos at full resolution straight from the camera (not a phone) to try and catch as much detail possible. If you'd like more, just let me know. I know record collectors can be picky so I'm trying to be as honest and upfront as possible here!
I will normally post next working day. Sometimes same day if you get payment in early. I'm not able to post at weekends.
These are listed as "Free Postage". But, obviously, that means the P&P costs are factored into the price. There is no such thing as "free" postage. If there is, someone please tell me how I get it from the Royal Mail! So, please bear in mind the post and packaging costs are factored into the price.
To break that down for you:
£4.00 - I send everything Royal Mail, Second Class Recorded.
£0.40 - PayPal 10% charge on the postage cost!!!
£0.70 - (ish) - for the specialist packaging.
Plus a few pence for sticky labels, tape etc. And the time taken going to and from the PO and standing in queues there.
So you can see it costs me over a fiver to post these.
If you purchase multiple records, I'll upgrade you to first class postage for up to three items. For four or more, drop me a note and I'll work out some sort of discount. How much depends on the quantity, how many I can fit in each package (varies depending on the type of record), and weight.
Thanks for looking! :)
PLEASE NOTE - I AM ON HOLIDAY UNTIL THURSDAY 12th MARCH.
MY NEXT POST DAY WILL BE FRIDAY 13th MARCH. PLEASE BE AWARE THERE WILL BE A DELAY IN SENDING YOUR ORDER IF YOU PURCHASE ANYTHING BEFORE THAT DATE. THANKS.
