Some words on this issue: LOU REED: “Metal Machine Music – Mugendai no Genkaku” (RCA Victor – RCA-9111~12) Hideously rare and seldom offered 1975 Japanese pressing of this monumental Lou Reed album. Comes with the seldom seen obi and has extensive liner notes within the gatefold sleeve that are penned down by no one else than Taj Mahal Travelers and Fluxus activist Kosugi Takehisa. Inner of the gatefold has slightly different design than the regular European and US pressings. Also what makes the Japanese issue so bloody rare and sought after is the fact that the album was withdrawn from circulation shortly after it was released, making that only a very few copies actually got sold which could not be retrieved.

Our grading scale: Mint/ Near Mint/ Excellent/ VG++/. We don’t sell anything below VG++. VG++ grade is basically that the record has some scuffs and has wear. Excellent: record has hardly no visible defects and is preserved with care and attention, the condition most collectors take pride in to file away. Near Mint: a dash below mint, just perfect. Mint: like new.
