"156 5th Avenue" address on cover and label.
Nice original copy ("156 5th Avenue" was ESP's original address) of this historic LP, released by ESP-Disk' and the East Village Other newspaper on the occasion of the wedding of Luci Baines Johnson on the 21st anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima (August 6, 1966), featuring sounds/words/music by various NYC underground figures, dubbed over a radio broadcast of the wedding (or possibly in some cases recorded live with the radio playing simultaneously).
This LP is usually cited as the first ever release to feature the Velvet Underground ("Noise"), but according to Olivier Landemaine's discography, the mono "All Tomorrow's Parties" / "I'll Be Your Mirror" 45 may have been released as early as July 1966, and the earliest this LP could have been released would have been late August.
