Description

Play tested. Inner sleeve has split but can be repaired. Outer sleeve was rebound on its bottom seam about 4 to 5 inches. Ring wear is visible. The spine, top and bottom seams has some slick missing. The bottom left corner of the back cover has a little moisture damage. The bottom right corner of the front of the sleeve (cover) has some slick missing. See pics.


Comes with bonus, inner and outer clear plastic sleeves.


This is the original east coast pressing. You can tell by the matrix and by the facts that there is a visible skull on the front, and on the back cover: Andy Warhol is credited, Lou Reed is credited with lead guitar instead of guitar, and the track listing misspells “ Here she comes now” as “ There, she comes.”


The Velvet Underground's 1968 first pressing of "White Light/White Heat" on Verve Records is a high-fidelity vinyl LP featuring songs composed by Maureen Tucker, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Lou Reed. With a 12" record size and stereo audio channels, this rock genre album showcases the band's unique blend of experimental and psychedelic sound. The original inner sleeve and cover, along with the iconic black vinyl material, make this classic release a must-have for any collector or music enthusiast seeking a piece of 1960s rock history.
