Description
LOU REED / VELVET UNDERGROUND collectors! Flexi disc which was included in Andy Warhol's Index (book/ multimedia package, published by Black Star Books in 1967). Some sources say released in February 1967 - BEFORE The Velvet Underground & Nico was released - others say November (after).
This is a one-sided 7 inch cardboard picture disc of Lou (portrait by Billy Name). Other side is blank,devoid of both audio and artwork. Audio is a recording of some Factory regulars talking and reacting to the book; the Velvet Underground can be heard in the background. I've read that it's the VU album playing but I can't tell.
Exceptional condition (for a flexi). Usually these received creases over the years and are no longer playable. That's not the case here! I played it and it played perfectly all the way through. Like any flexi the edges are curling up slightly but the actual grooves - the playing part - aren't affected. In the playing portion the needle doesn't jump at all (and I tested it on a cheap 'jumpy' budget portable record player. Visually it looks perfect on the Lou side and moderate signs of age (slight discoloration) on the blank side. I'll give it a grade of Excellent. Not a grade I usually use for records but a good accurate descriptor.
I've seen one recently sold which was creased and didn't look playable, this seems like a superb example here and should be much greater in value since it plays fine and audio (record) collectors find that important! Otherwise, it's still perfect for use as a replacement to complete the Warhol book package (it's typically missing from that book, when you can find one!).
All records are original pressings unless noted. Visually graded, but questionable records are playgraded. NM (Near Mint) is usually my highest grade for 45s. See our Grading info. Labels are NM unless noted; and item has no writing, stamps, stickers, drillholes, or other noteworthy defects unless specifically noted or shown in photos otherwise.
