Description
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO~ U.S. 67' MONO VERVE
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO
ONE OF, IF NOT THE MOST INFLUENTIAL RECORDS IN ROCK HISTORY IS LOU REED AND THE VELVET UNDERGROUND'S FIRST 67 RELEASE ON VERVE (V-5008) MONO/ GATEFOLD WITH THE ANDY WARHOL DESIGNED COVER. THIS IS THE 3RD STATE VERSION WITH AIRBRUSHED TORSO IMAGE ON REAR- ACTUALLY THESE ARE FEWER IN NUMBERS THAN THE FIRST STATE, AS PRODUCTION ENDED WITH POOR SALES ACTUALLY DOWNGRADING THE LAST MONO'S TO CUT OUT! SEEMS EVERYONE EITHER PELED THE BANANA COMPLETELY OFF OF THE COVER, OR JUST THE TOP AND BOTTOM. FINDING ONE WITH THE BANANA UNTAMPERED WITH IS BECOMING RARE. THIS WOULD BE ONE OF THE SCANT FEW WHERE THE STICKER HAS BEEN LEFT ALONE! NO INQUISITIVE TAMPERING VISIBLE TO THE STICKER! NO SPLITS, MARKS, AND NO BAD YELLOWING WHICH PLAGUES 98% OF THESE COPIES! ALSO VERY NICE TO SEE IS THAT THE CORNERS ARE SQUARE (WITHOUT KNOCKS/ JAMS) THERE IS THE PUNCH HOLE, AS THIS COPY WAS A REDUCED PRICE ITEM, AND THE REAR COVER HAS A FACTORY FLAW CREASE, WHICH I'VE SEEN MANY TIMES ON THIS PARTICULAR COVER. I WOULD ASSESS THE SHELFWEAR AT A 2 ON THE FRONT/ 4 ON THE REAR (10 BEING THE WORST!) MUCH CLEANER COVER THAN MOST YOU WOULD FIND, FOR SURE! THE MONO DISC HAS SLEEVE MARKS FROM IN AND OUT REMOVAL, AND SOME NEEDLE MARKS AS WELL, BUT I PLAYED THIS LP ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND I WAS AMAZED AT HOW QUIET IT PLAYS- NO SKIPS, AND LOW NOISE LEVELS IN A FEW AREAS. SEEMS THE MONO PRESSINGS HOLD UP MUCH NICER THAN THE STEREOS. I HAVE A STEREO ORIGINAL PRESSING WHICH LOOKS ALOT NICER THAN THIS MONO, BUT THE MONO PLAYES CLEANER BY FAR! CLEAN UNMARKED LABELS! THE MONO'S OF THIS TITLE ARE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER, AND GETTING RARER BY THE DAY!
