Velvet Underground and Nico -Andy Warhol Presents...- Verve V/5008
VH1 keeps playing "100 Greatest This" and "Rock's 100 That" and I just keep rolling my eyes and shaking my head. Obviously, best band= the Velvets; greatest singer= Lou Reed; most important woman in rock= Nico; greatest song= "Heroin"; of course, #1 album of all time= this one right here, Binky. Basically, any good rock'n'roll music of the last 30 years is directly traceable to this band and this album. More influential on the shape of modern music than the Beatles, and responsible for far less crap. If you don't own it yet you've got some SERIOUS problems. Correct them.
This is the mono first issue (with the all-important torso image on back) with a partially intact (missing small section connecting stem and torn in half across the middle) banana. Gatefold cover has small section of inner spine missing but not over any printed area, 4” top seam split and some general wear. Disc is VG with some general wear and scuffs, none that are lethal. Test played, and it plays well with no skips or terribly intrusive wear (it never was a landmark in sonic reproduction anyway!), all in all a very pleasant listen. Original inner sleeve, even!
After a hiatus, during which we moved and built our Permanentrecords library/vault/watering hole, we are finally up and running as an Ebay seller again. Welcome back to all our old friends and hello to new ones. We’re going to try things a bit differently this time. We will still feature great, rare, obscure, strange and little-known vinyl, but we’ve decided on no reserves and a very low opening bid on even the choicest stuff. We’re hoping that this will keep you coming back to us for the chance at some genuine bargains and maybe even steals, as we allow each item to find its natural price. We are also hoping to expand into some of our other interests in the near future, like vintage clothes and books. We will of course still try to maintain the same high standards of service and customer satisfaction. Good hunting!
