The Velvet Underground & Nico
Verve Records V6-5008    matrix #s in dead wax side 1: MGS-558 REV   side 2: MGS-558 RE 1.  This is the third version of the first pressing which has the back cover photograph airbrushed to remove the actor's image who sued Verve for using his photograph without permission.
vinyl:  VG+, vinyl is very clean & shiny.  has a few tiny scratches on either side but I haven't seen a first press looking this good in many years.  sounds incredible but there are 2 light pops in "Venus In Furs".
sleeve: VG, sticker is a bit broken up, stem of banana is detached, corners show signs of wear, there are a couple stains around the bottom corners as well.  I've tried to take close up detailed pics of the worst of the damage but please let us know if you would like to see any more pictures and we would be happy to send you some.
