$

36

Nice copy of this hard-to-find box set from 1982 (white lettering).  Box artwork has the tip of the banana pointing to the left.  Later editions have the tip pointing right.  Bought second-hand and stored upright in a 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeve in a smoke-free environment.     

• NM box is clean with no markings and no seam splits/corner splits.  Spine and edges are strong with no wear.  Corners are strong and sharp with no tears and no wears.  Opening hinge is strong with no tears and no wearing.  Really nice box.    

• NM vinyl is clean and glossy with no visible marks or scuffs on any of the six sides.  Beautiful copy.

                      ** Comes with xerox of original one-page insert.

Notes

? 1982 VU Records 

Notes: this 3-LP set comes in a 12x12 inch box set with banana sticker. There are copies with red letters on the box, some with silver letters, and other with gold. Some 'Deluxe' (?) copies came with a counterfeit of Nico's first 45 (on Immediate label). Also some box sets came with two xerox booklets: Souvenir of Discography (compilation of Velvet Underground press articles) and Buried Treasure! (originally published in What Goes On #2). Foggy Notion is listed as first track of side 4 but actually not included. Later copies came with a silkscreened gold banana and white letters and no "extras".

I am a lifelong vinyl collector (49 years old) and just starting to sell off my very large collection.  Much tender loving care has gone into this collection.  I have digitally archived all my albums.  These are what I listen to, so most of my LPs bought new have had very few spins.  All have been stored upright in 5 mil heavyweight polypro sleeves in a smoke-free environment.  Many more rare and hard to find collectibles to be listed.  Stay tuned!

Grading is visual only and conservative (using Ebay categories):
Mint (I almost never use this grade unless it's sealed) means perfect Near Mint means just shy of perfect Excellent means light wear, or a couple light marks Very Good Plus means more significant wear but nothing serious, or more than a couple light marks and/or a few hairlines Very Good has more serious wear but it's definitely not garbage, has marks and hairlines
