Rare VELVET UNDERGROUND / LOU REED 3-Lp Import Box Set MINT
“EVERYTHING YOU’VE EVER HEARD ABOUT... THE VELVET UNDERGROUND”
VU Records no. VU 333 / UK issue, 1982 (probably unauthorised)
This unusual triple-record box set appears to have never been played. The silk-screened box cover, one-sheet info page insert, and all three discs are in perfect condition. (NOTE: The dark section that appears in the pic here on the left side of the record surface is a reflection of objects in the room on the flawless vinyl surface -- almost like a mirror! This pattern does not appear on the vinyl itself!)
I am not a VU aficionado but the material here appears to be a large collection of rare recordings by both the Velvet Underground and by various groups that (I assume) contained one or more of the Velvets prior to their meeting and conquering of the World. Here are the complete contents:
Side One -
1. AFTER HOURS (The Carol Lou Trio)
2. LEAVE HER FOR ME (The Shades)
3. SO BLUE (The Shades)
4. WHY DON’T YOU SMILE (The All Night Workers)
5. (Do) THE OSTRICH (The Primitives)
6. SNEAKY PETE (The Primitives)
7. CYCLE ANNIE (The Beachnuts)
Side Two -
1. I’VE GOT A TIGER IN MY TANK (The Beachnuts)
2. YOU’RE DRIVING ME INSANE (The Roughnecks)
3. LOOP (Magazine Flexi Disc)
4. INDEX (Magazine Flexi Disc of Conversation)
5. VU NOISE (from “East Village Electric Newspaper”)
Side Three (The Velvet Underground) -
1. SOME KINDA LOVE
2. WHITE LIGHT / WHITE HEAT
3. ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
4. (Here Come The) WAVES
Side Four (The Velvet Underground) -

2. INSIDE YOUR HEART
3. I’M STICKING WITH YOU

SHIPPING -
I will ship this set well-packed by USPS Media Mail for $3.00. Insurance optional. Contact me for shipping rates outside the USA. I prefer PayPal for the winning bidder’s payment but will accept check or money order. I do combine & reduce shipping costs for multiple auctions won.
ABOUT GRADING -
I don’t like having stuff returned so I tend to grade conservatively. For some reason I use the traditional teacher’s scale of A-F. I grade a record’s condition first visually, then by carefully spot-playing each track (if the record’s not still sealed of course) in at least two places, using a new needle and a balanced audiophile turntable. I try to note any obvious problems with the condition of the cover or vinyl record (or any other part of the product) in my description. I do try to get the dust specks off with an anti-static record-cleaning cloth if needed, but I never use liquid cleaners and actually prefer to leave any extreme cleaning to the buyer, since audiophiles tend to be picky with their differing ways. I use anti-static "rice paper" inner sleeves and plastic slip cases for all my records. As you can see by my eBay feedback score, my buyers have been pretty happy with the stuff I’ve sold and how well I pack it so it gets to you without damage in transit.
RETURN POLICY -
Occasionally someone might disagree with my subjective assessment of a record’s condition so if necessary I will gladly refund the original purchase price (including shipping) – just ship the record back to me in its sturdy container. Bid with confidence, as they say…
