Description
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO ~ VERVE V6/5008. ORIGINALLY RELEASED MARCH 12, 1967 AND PRODUCED BY ANDY WARHOL (WHO ALSO DID THE FAMOUS COVER), THIS RECORD HAS LONG BEEN CONSIDERED A (POP) CULTURAL ICON. NOT A BAD V.U. RECORD EITHER! THIS COPY IS UNUSUAL NOT BECAUSE IT'S A FIRST PRESSING, BUT BECAUSE IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE LAST EARLY PRESSINGS TO FEATURE THE PEEL OFF BANANA. THIS HAS THE COVER AT NEAR MINT WITH A BIT OF A MANUFACTURING FLAW/RIDGE AT THE "PEEL AND SEE" COVER TEXT. THE FRONT OF THE BACK OF THE GATEFOLD COVER EXTENDS A BIT (1/8"?) BEYOND THE FRONT COVER. THE BANANA PEEL ITSELF IS COMPLETELY ADHERED TO THE COVER STILL AND THIS IS IN NEARLY IMMACULATE CONDITION.
NOTE: THE BANANA IS A BIT SMALLER THAN ON EARLIER PRESSINGS AND A SLIGHTLY BRIGHTER YELLOW (WITH A BIT LESS ORANGE IN IT). THERE IS NO BORDER AROUND THE BANANA AS WITH EARLIER VERSIONS. THE BACK COVER IS THE AIR BRUSHED VERSION, WITH MR. EMERSON OBLITERATED YET MADE INFAMOUS AT THE SAME TIME. THE CARDBOARD IS NOT AS HEAVY AS ON EARLIER COPIES. THE COVER IS GRADED NEAR MINT AND PRESENTS WONDERFULLY. THERE ARE A COUPLE VERY LIGHT AND SOFT RUB MARKS. THE ONLY TRUE AREA OF CONCERN IS BACK ULHC WHICH HAS A SLIGHT TEAR (1/4"?) AT THE TOP SEAM/OPENING JUNCTURE. THE SPINE IS DECENT BUT TEXT IS PRINTED "LOWER" THAN CENTER WHEN READING IT SIDEWAYS. THIS IS AN AMAZINGLY CLEAN COVER (VERY WHITE WITH NO DISCOLORATION) BY ANY STANDARD! I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG THE PEELABLE BANANA COVER WAS AVAILABLE (ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THIS LP DIDN'T SELL THAT WELL INITIALLY) BUT THIS COPY MUST HAVE BEEN NEAR THE END OF PRODUCTION.
LABELS ARE THE (SLIGHTLY) LATER 7165 SUNSET BOULEVARD VERSION, WHICH MAY HAVE OVERLAPPED WITH THE ORIGINAL LABEL VERSION. THE LABELS ARE NEAR MINT. THE VINYL IS A STRONG VG+ WITH A COUPLE MARKS ON "FEMME FATALE" THAT I CAN'T FEEL AND SHOULDN'T AFFECT PLAY. THERE IS LIGHT PAPER SCUFFING AS WELL. THE VINYL IS A BIT THINNER THAN EARLIER PRESSINGS AND THERE IS NO DEEP, "INNER GROOVE" AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE AS WITH SOME COPIES. A NICE DISC WITH A BEAUTIFUL COVER!
