Description

THIS IS THE VERY FIRST PRESSING KNOWN OF THIS LP (AND SO SCARCE IT IS COVETED IN ANY CONDITION). I OBTAINED THIS LP IN THE EARLY 70s. I RESCUED IT FROM "PERCIVAL."  SOMEHOW HE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO ADD HIS NAME TO THE CREDITS. IT HAS BEEN CAREFULLY CONSERVED IN POLY INNER AND OUTER SLEEVES IN A SMOKE-FREE COLLECTOR'S HOME. OF COURSE YOU WILL RECEIVE NEW PROTECTIVE SLEEVES!


***PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE HIGH-RESOLUTION PHOTOGRAPHS IN THE BEST POSSIBLE LIGHT CONDITIONS AND I'M ALWAYS HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY DETAILED QUESTIONS!!  
***VERY GOOD + SOUND THROUGHOUT. SOME LIGHT SURFACE NOISE AT THE LEAD-IN OF BOTH SIDES.
***I HAVE PROVIDED AN ACTUAL SCAN OF THE SIGNED PROMO PHOTO. LOU REED'S SIGNATURE IS DIFFICULT TO SEE ON STERLING MORRISON'S SHIRT. IT ALSO HAS AN AREA IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER WHERE TAPE WAS REMOVED. THE PHOTO IS SIGNED BY LOU REED, JOHN CALE AND MAUREEN "MOE" TUCKER.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ME THAT YOU RECEIVE YOUR RECORDS IN PRIME CONDITION! When packing a record, I separate the vinyl (in the sleeve) from the jacket to prevent seam-splits during shipment. 


I use high-quality WHIPLASH or PRATT INDUSTRIES RECORD BOX MAILERS. These are made in the USA from 100% recycled paper. After many years of experience collecting, trading, and selling vinyl, I find these to be be pretty much "ding-proof!"
