FOR YOU BIDDING PLEASURE IS THE SUPER RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER VELVET UNDERGROUND "WHITE LIGHT / WHITE HEAT" EAST-COAST, YELLOW LABEL DISC JOCKEY PROMO LP RELEASED IN 1968. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL WHICH FEATURE THE SKULL TATOO ON THE BOTTOM LEFT ON THE FRONT OF THE COVER. UNLIKE THE BLUE LABEL ORIGINAL, THIS RECORD WAS GIVEN ONLY TO DISC JOCKEYS TO REVIEW AND NEVER AVAILABLE FOR SALE TO THE PUBLIC. THE STEREO PRESSING I CAN ASSUME IS MUCH MORE RARER THAN THE MONO CONSIDERING I HAVE ONLY SEEN 2-3 OTHER ON EBAY IN THE PAST FEW YEARS COMPARED TO MAYBE 15-20 MONO PRESSING (YELLOW AND WHITE LABELED).

THE CONDITION OF THE SKULL COVER IS VISUALLY GRADED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN EXCELLENT (+) TO NEAR MINT (-). I AM GRADED CONSERVATIVELY CONSIDERING THE RARITY OF THE ITEM AT HAND. THE ONLY ISSUES ARE A WRINKLE (CREASE) ON THE BOTTOM ON THE FRONT, WHICH IS ABOUT AN INCH LONG AND IS NEARLY INVISIBLE. I JUST NOTICED IT TODAY AFTER CLOSE EXAMINATION AFTER OWNING IT FOR QUITE SOME TIME. DUE TO THE BLACK COVER, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE. THERE IS SOME VERY LIGHT EDGE WEAR ON SOME PARTS, TYPICAL FOR ITS AGE. OTHER THAN THAT, ITS NEAR PERFECTION. THERE IS NO SPINE SPLITS, WRITING, OR RING-WEAR. A VERY PRESENTABLE AND COLLECTABLE COPY OF SUCH A RARE AND SOUGHT AFTER RECORD.

THE VINYL IS GRADED A STRONG EXCELLENT (+) TO NEAR MINT (-) WITH MUCH OF THE ORIGINAL SHINE AND LUSTER INTACT. THE LABELS ARE SPOTLESS AND PERFECT. THE VINYL HAS 2-3 VERY MINOR ABRASIONS THAT DO NOT AFFECT PLAY OF THE RECORD WHATSOEVER. THEY ARE ONLY COSMETIC FLAWS. ONE OF THE MARKS IS IN THE DEAD-WAX. THE VINYL STILL PLAYS BEAUTIFULLY WITH NEARLY NO BACKGROUND NOISE. YOU ARE NOT LIKELY TO FIND THIS RECORD IN BETTER CONDITION.

ORIGINAL VERVE INNER SLEEVE INCLUDED OF COURSE IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO SPLITS OF ANY KIND.
