Description
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO
"THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO - ANDY WARHOL" The 'banana cover' 1st LP
RARE 1966 US 1st press stereo Verve blue label V6-5008 gatefold with the original uncensored "TORSO COVER" back cover art with the upside-down torso figure clearly visible.
THE BANANA HAS BEEN NEATLY PEELED AND IS NOT PRESENT. THE COVER IS CLEAN WITH A SLIGHTLY YELLOWED SPINE AND A 1/4" SPLIT AT THE TOP OF THE MOUTH. THE ORIGINAL VERVE INNER SLEEVE IS PRESENT AND CLEAN WITH A 2" SPLIT AT THE BOTTOM CENTER. THE LP ITESLF IS A BEAUTY, STILL SHINY AND CLEAN. SURFACE HAS A FEW MINOR SUPERFICIAL HAIRLINES AND PURELY SUPERFICIAL TYPICAL GHOST TRAILS FROM GOING & OUT OF THE INNER SLEEVE. STILL VERY NICE.
OVERALL, BEING EXTREMELY CRITICAL, I WOULD GRADE THIS AT A SOLID VG+ OR BETTER LP, AND A NICE VG++ TORSO COVER, MISSING THE BANANA.
A TRUE 1966 PSYCHEDELIC MASTERPIECE 1ST PRESS! IN NICE SHAPE!
