AN ABSOLUTELY TREMENDOUS SET - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND DEFINITELY NOT TO BE MISSED - DIFFICULT TO FIND AS A UK VERY FIRST ISSUE WITH THE FULL A//1, B//1 MATRICES AND THE FULLY LAMINATED MACNEILL GATEFOLD - ESPECIALLY IN SUCH STUNNING CONDITION

Track Listing:
Side 1: I’m Waiting for the Man / Candy Says / Run, Run, Run / White Light/White Heat / All Tomorrow’s Parties
Side 2: Sunday Morning / I Heard Her Call My Name / Femme Fatale / Heroin / Here She Comes Now / There She Goes Again
Side 3: Sister Ray / Venus in Furs
Side 4: European Son / Pale Blue Eyes / Black Angel’s Death Song / Beginning to See the Light

LABELS: SUPERB - CLEAN and BRIGHT with NO wear, NO marks or writing and only a couple of (light) spindle traces. THIS SET HAS CLEARLY SEEN LITTLE PLAY
VINYL Visual: Both records have a DEEP, LIKE NEW, GLOSSY sheen and are UNMARKED. BEAUTIFUL VINYL
VINYL Audio: STUNNING - CRYSTAL CLEAR, VERY SHARP and VERY STRONG. Although VU were never known for their high-fidelity recordings - tending to turn everything up to 11 in the studio, this is THE BEST you will ever hear them!! There are NO scratches, NO jumps/sticks, NO surface noise, NO distortion and NO groove-wear (the set has hardly ever been played). There are just a couple of (very) light clicks on "Pale Blue Eyes" otherwise the set is PRISTINE and DELIVERS AN ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING LISTENING EXPERIENCE ON EVERY FRONT FROM START TO FINISH. Must be graded NEAR MINT for audio and a finer copy of this LP would be very hard to locate indeed. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME MATERIAL
SLEEVE: The DEEPLY GLOSSY, FULLY LAMINATED MacNeill gatefold cover is also in SUPERB condition. BEAUTIFUL, DEEP, DEEP GLOSS to the laminated surfaces and practically NO edge wear, just a couple of light creases to the spine where all the text is CLEAR and SHARP
OVERALL, A TREMENDOUS COPY OF THE VELVET UNDERGROUND'S STUNNING WORK


PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I USUALLY TAKE QUITE A FEW SO YOU CAN GET A CLEAR INDICATION OF EVERY DETAIL OF THE RECORD, SLEEVE AND INNER
I HAVE UPLOADED AS MANY PICTURES AS I CAN BUT I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SUPPLY ANY ADDITIONAL PHOTOS ON REQUEST
THIS REALLY IS A BEAUTIFUL COPY AND AS THE ORIGINAL 1971 UK FIRST PRESSING WITH THE FULL A//1, B//1 MATRIX SET AND HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL DEEPLY GLOSSY MACNEILL GATEFOLD AND IN SUCH FANTASTIC CONDITION - VERY SCARCE
I ASSURE YOU THEY DO NOT COME MUCH BETTER THAN THIS
AS WITH ALL MY RECORDS THIS HAS A LOW START PRICE AND NO RESERVE
PLEASE CHECK OUT MY OTHER AUCTIONS FOR MORE RARE AND COLLECTABLE VINYL
AND PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUERIES YOU MAY HAVE
THANKS FOR LOOKING, CHEERS
