VINYL TITLE — ARTIST (YEAR) • CATALOG Artist: The Doors Album: The Doors (Self-Titled Debut) Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Mono Label: Elektra Catalog Number: EKL-4007 Year: 1967 (Original Release: January 1967) Country: USA (Monarch Pressing) Genre: Psychedelic Rock, Blues Rock 💿 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 . 🔍 MATRIX / LABEL DETAILS Side 1 Label: THE DOORS - EKL-4007-A - SIDE ONE - (Tracklist) - Recording first published January 1967 Side 2 Label: THE DOORS - EKL-4007-B - SIDE TWO - (Tracklist) Side A Runout: EKL-4007A (MON) [Hand-etched] - (MR) [Stamped Circle] - Δ10046 - Ray [Hand-etched signature] Side B Runout: EKL-4007B (MON) [Hand-etched] - (MR) [Stamped Circle] - Δ10046-X - Ray [Hand-etched signature] 📦 SHIPPING 📮 STANDARD: 5–30 DAYS — FREE SHIPPING ✈️ INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY: 5–15 DAYS — 30$ 🚚 FEDEX EXPRESS: 3–7 DAYS — 65$ WORLD OF AUDIOPHILE (EBAY SELLER) 100% POSITIVE FEEDBACK • FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM: @WORLD_OF_AUDIOPHILE ⭐ LATEST BUYER FEEDBACK 0 ]/ “ABSOLUTELY STUNNING VINYL!

  1. Absolute flawless international shipping, was fun to see all the stops the package made during delivery, van halen box set was packed professionally and shipped priority without any import tax at all. Item was exactly as described and the only one available anywhere, item was unopened sealed and considered extremely rare from 1984. This was the best experience I've ever had on ebay, all questions were answered directly and promptly. Definitely saving this seller for future purchases. Thank you
