228

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO (ANDY WARHOL BANANA COVER)-SELF TITLED (1967, Verve)

Condition of Cover: VG, some SW, some EW, approx. 70% of banana present, tear spot along top, existing banana peel in nice shape with minor wear at most. Some CW, 2" thin shallow scratch in upper right corner area, Verve sticker on back side of cover covering Eric Emerson torso, 4" SS along left edge, 4" SS neatly repaired with clear tape along top edge. 

Condition of Record: Visual VG, has minor edgewarp that visibly moves the needle ever so slightly up and down. I think it affects play very slightly/faintly/in the way background according to my Gemini turntable/Grado cartridge. Side 1: "Femme Fatale" plays VG, intro to "Venus in Furs" has some background surface noise that eventually goes away, rest of Side 1 played generally a low VG+/decent VG with some flecks of background surface noise here and there. Side 2, some background surface noise on the intro to "Heroin," side plays generally good VG to low VG+ with some light background surface noise here and there. This is how it played on my Gemini turntable using a Grado cartridge. 

Additional Information: Original. V6-5008. Stereo. Gatefold. Andy Warhol on front, "Peel Slowly and See" on top front. Eric Emerson's torso on back, but it is obscured by a black Verve sticker.

Grading Scale: My grading scale is as follows:

SEALED, M-, NM, NM-, EX+, EX, EX-, VG+, VG, VG-, G+. I do not sell anything lower than G+. My records are visually and play graded to check for accuracy. My VG+ should have little to no surface noise according to my turntable using a Grado cartridge, and my EX gradings are equivalent to Goldmine's VG++ grading, just more descriptive within the grading spectrum of VG++. My M- is open unplayed. My NM and NM- gradings are reserved for items opened once and played. Therefore, records that are often others' NM-, I will default to EX+ (this and high end VG++ records populate the EX+ grading).  I generally default to VG on covers if the cover has any noticeable ringwear, surface wear, or seam splits. Please see abbreviation list. If you have any questions, please email me! NO REISSUES UNLESS STATED AS SUCH!!
