Frequently asked questions about postage:
Do you combine postage? Yes. I am not a business. I have decent scales and if someone buys more than one record I pack, weigh and then send the invoice. If someone buys quite a lot I will take the time to work out the various ways I can combine items to get the lowest postal costs with the correct insurance.
Will you send by standard postage? No. I will not post anything unless it has the correct insurance and a signature at point of delivery. This includes international postage.
The Velvet Underground 1969 3rd LP Flipback Cover Horizontal Split Back Photo
From my own collection and owned by me from new. It is the UK first issue with the photo of Lou Reed on the back split horizontally, not vertically as on later issues. It is the Garrod & Lofthouse laminated front flipback cover.
THE COVER is in overall very good condition. No shelf wear to the bottom edge but the corners are showing a little wear. The opening edge is also showing signs of slight wear.
The front: is clean and shiny. There are creases in the laminate which I have shown in the photos.
The spine: is square and easily legible.
The back: there are creases in the laminate on the folded back flaps. This cover is the HORIZONTAL split photo which shows it is a first edition.
THE VINYL: is clean and shiny. There are some sleeve scuffs and light surface scratches on both sides.
THE LABELS: are clean with no writing, scuffing, or anything else. There are some very faint spindle marks which only show against the light.
MATRIX NUMBERS: Side 1 - 2YMG 291-1G
Side 2 - 2YMG 292-1G
TRACK LISTING and audio comments
I have played this LP all the way through on both sides and have written my audio comments beside each track. It does not jump or get stuck and I have listened to it sitting in between the speakers which are approximately 6 feet apart. Some of the faults I have listed below cannot be heard from the other end of the room.
Tracklist
Candy Says faint surface noise at the start. Very, very faint surface noise here and there in the background which I couldn't hear from the other end of the room.What Goes On sounds excellent apart from some faint crackle right at the end
Some Kinda Love excellent all through
Pale Blue Eyes some faint clicks at the start, 3 medium pops approx 30 seconds in, 1 faint pop 1/2 way through, several medium pops in the instrumental bit, hints of surface noise here and there all through
Jesus one light pop, a couple of very faint pops and a hint of surface noise in places
Beginning To See The Light sounds great. Surface noise at the end of this track and into track 2
I'm Set Free a few clicks in the background. Louder surface crackle in the quiet bit and faint surface crackle throughout
