Description

The much sought after ORIGINAL pressing of The Velvet Undeground & Nico's classic album THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO with the UNPEELED BANANA AND EMERSON TORSO!!!

See below for details.

    COUNTRY: UK        

YEAR: 1967

LABEL: Verve

   CATALOGUE NUMBER:  

V-5008

GRADING

SLEEVE: VG+

Unpeeled banana and Emerson Torso showing it to be the very first pressing! Structurally the sleeve is very nice, all words are legible. Would be graded higher but there is some age-related discolouration. Stem has a slight crease when you look closely that could be a slit but is hard to tell. Regardless no pieces of the banana are missing! 

LABELS: EX

Labels are immaculate no writing, damage etc. Some light spindle lines.


RECORD: NM 

Stunningly clean vinyl. Both sides are near markless. You will struggle to find even a hairline on this. NM. 

Plays Excellent. No skips, pops or jumps. The music rings out beautifully and clear! I don't think I've heard of a single one of these originals that didn't play with at least some light surface noise regardless of how clean they are but this definitely has the least out of all the ones I've heard.

Overall a remarkable piece of musical history and one of the few to survive with the Banana still present and the vinyl still in amazing condition! Whoever goes on to own this will be very happy!

Original Inner: Included

Postage Information

This will be shipped special delivery to make sure it reaches the lucky buyer safe and securely. 

Good luck!

Cleaning: All vinyl sold by me is carefully cared for and cleaned with one of the most effective processes in the field. Manually cleaned with a Disco Stat + Loricraft combination. The process is then finished off with an Ultrasonic Degritter cleaning to blast out and rinse any other impurities that may still remain. This is one of the key factors into why the vinyl I sell on sounds as clean as the vinyl will possibly allow. Cleaner than you may get from a seller who doesn't go to the same lengths as this vinyl obssessed guy over here :)!
