Velvet Underground and Nico: same

Rare original MONO press with the TORSO on the backcover

Fantastic US album, a milestone in rockhistory. The top part of the banana has been peeled and has the often seen split on the stem, but still 100% intact and in a very nice condition. The cover would be close to perfect if it wasn’t for some reddish (paint?) spots on the top right corner and one little spot to the left of the banana. Besides that the cover is a real beauty with strong corners and no splits on the seams. The cover looks white and shinny and would be close mint if it wasn’t for the mentioned reddish spots. Comes with the original Verve inner sleve. Vinyl has a few marks and scuffs and a little surface wear mostly on side 1. Side 2 has much less wear and looks close to EX. The sound is always a bit distorted and rusty on this LP, but this is how it is meant to sound like. This copy is playing very enjoyable with only a little background noise at a few quite places, Overall I would say this is around VG++, and this is the superior mono mix with a loud and punchy sound. Not a perfect copy but a very decent one.

Please see my other items for more original folk/psych/garage/beat/prog albums from all over the world...

GRADING

There is nothing more irritating than buying an LP which is overgraded (about half of the LPs I have bought via Ebay has been overgraded.) so I try to grade as accurate as possible both visual and (mostly) audible and describe any flaws on the record. I grade under a 100W light bulb or sunlight. For playgrading I use my Gyro Deck turntable fitted with a Benz Micro MC pick up. If there is any dissatisfaction with any LP there is off course a moneyback warranty.

M-: Perfect copy, the copy that looks like it was bought yesterday and only have been played a few times.

EX: This has been played but still a very satisfying copy that would please most collectors. No scratches or coverwear, LP plays without any problem, as good as perfect in fact many dealers M- is what I would call EX

VG++: This copy has been played and cover has some wear but still a very good copy that should satisfy most people except the MINT puritans

VG+: This is a played copy, plays with some clicks and background noise. But still the music should be the central part. Cover has ring wear but still not a torn cover or anything.

VG: This is a more used copy with some scratches and clicks, no stops or skips though, cover has heavy wear.
