Description

Offered is an original early 1968 repress of 1967 "THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO" Vinyl LP on Verve Records # V6-5008.  This pressing includes the very rare peel off banana sticker on the front cover.   The rare BANANA STICKER is still 98% complete.   Underneath is printed a pink banana but most buyers had to peel it off and tossed it away so today it's a prized collectible!!   The cardboard jacket is in Very Good+ condition.   The top and bottom seams are nice with no splits at all.   The spine is nice with all printing intact too.   The jacket is a second pressing as the back cover had to be airbrushed out.   However the vinyl LP that goes with this LP is a 1968 "Celebrity Series" pressing LP which has all songs credited to "Three Prong Music" just like the first pressings all did.  This "Celebrity Series" 1968 pressing is for collectors who want to complete their collections of all early 1967 and 1968 pressings as this particular pressing is not that easy to find.   Both labels are Near Mint condition.  The vinyl has most all of it's original gloss too!   We grade the LP just a hair under Very Good+.  Side 1 grades VG+;  Side 2 grades between a Strong VG and VG+.    A very nice copy!  This is an extremely rare LP in any condition!!!      Check out all the other rare LPs we are selling now!
