HELLO EVERYONE!!! THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY AUCTION. CURRENTLY AND VERY SOON I AM GOING TO BE PUTTING UP VERY RARE, ORIGINAL RECORDS, FOR AN AUCTION. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR AN ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY BIDDING!!!
SO, WE HAVE AN EXCELLENT COLLECTOR'S RECORD OF THE CONCEPTUAL ALBUM THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NIKO, WHICH WAS RELEASED IN MARCH 1967. NO DOUBTS, I THINK THIS RECORD SHOULD BE A PART OF EVERY LP COLLECTION. I AM SURE THAT IT IS THE 1ST EDITION OF THIS RECORD. THERE ARE THREE VARIATIONS OF THE COVER FOR THIS, ALL WITH PEELABLE BANANA ON FRONT. THE FIRST VERSION REPRESENTS AN IMAGE OF JOURNALIST EMERSON SUPERIMPOSED ON LOU REED'S FACE ON THE BACK COVER. THIS IS KNOW AS THE "TORSO" VERSION. THE SECOND VERSION HAS A STICKER BLOTTING THIS OUT. THE THIRD VERSION HAS IT AIRBRUSHED AWAY.
THIS PARTICULAR RECORD IS THE THIRD VERSION OF THE 1ST EDITION.
COVER FRONT: CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 50 YEARS SINCE ITS RELEASE YOU CAN SAY THAT THE RECORD IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. YOU CAN SEE THE PRESERVED VARNISH AND SHINE. THE LEFT EDGE HAS A NATURAL YELLOWING. THE REST PART OF THE ALBUM IS CLEAN AND IS IN GREAT CONDITION. I CAN'T TELL FOR SURE WHETHER THE BANANA WAS PEELED, BUT IT'S STILL IN PLACE. IT HAS SMALL WRINKLES IN SOME PLACES. IT SEEMS THAT THE UPPER PART OF THE BANANA WAS PEELED, BUT THEN WAS VERY CAREFULLY PLACED BACK AS IT WAS BEFORE. THE EDGES OF THE RECORD ARE A LITTLE BIT SHAGGY, BUT IN A GREAT CONDITION.
COVER BACK: THE BACK COVER IS A LITTLE BIT WORN OUT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME DOESN'T HAVE A RING WEAR, WHICH IS A BIG PLUS. IT HAS SMALL YELLOW SPOTS AND THE EDGE HAS SOME YELLOWING JUST LIKE THE FRONT PART.
COVER INNER GATEFOLD: IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE PAPER AT THE TOP OF THE SPINE HAS UNSTUCK A LITTLE BIT. IT HAS A TIME STAMP ON IT, WHICH ARISES A SENSE OF GREAT VENERATION.
SPINE: VERY SOLID, QUITE THICK AND STRAIGHT WITH BARELY ANY HINT OF COMPRESSION. HAS YELLOW AGE SPOTS. THE WHOLE TEXT IS EASY TO READ EXCEPT FOR THE PLACES WHERE THE COVER BENDS.
LABEL CONDITIONS: BOTH IN GREAT CONDITION, RICH BLUE COLOR AND SHARP SILVER LETTERS. SIDE ONE IS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR AND SIDE TWO HAS A COUPLE OF TINY AND FAINT SPINDLE TRACES.
VINYL CONDITION: I'VE BEEN LOOKING CLOSELY AT THE VINYL AND BOTH SIDES HAVE NUMEROUS INSIGNIFICANT SURFACE HAIRLINES (YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE THEM ON THE PHOTOGRAPHS)
I AM STARTING MY AUCTION AT A LOW STARTING PRICE, DON'T MISS YOUR CHANCE!!!
