Description
This is a very nice clean early stereo pressing of the iconic first album by the legendary punk psych rock group, The Velvet Underground and Nico, originally released by Verve Records in 1967. This is the fourth cover of the original recording on the blue Verve label with the banana that cannot be peeled and air brushed torso. This version was released in 1970. There are a great number of similar looking pressings of this on line but this version with catalogue no. V6-5008 was purchased by me in the early 1970s.
The LP is in excellent condition with no marks, graded as such instead of near mint because of 2 inaudible pressing bubbles, one on each album side near or within the final cuts on each side. The LP plays nicely. The gatefold cover is in very good plus condition, although not much below excellent. All of the corners are reasonably sharp. The seams and spine are strong although there is slight rub wear. The front and back cover are very clean with a touch of wear showing near top and bottom of both sides and a touch of yellowing. The inside of the gatefold is very clean. In grading I use Excellent instead of VG++ for those items deemed just a notch below near mint. Please understand that opened play graded copies may have been graded several weeks before listing so the LP should be cleaned again before play. LPs are cleaned manually as I no longer have machine
The LP will be shipped within 24 hours of payment, which is expected within 3 days of auction end, in specially made LP mailer with the LP separated from the cover (for unsealed items) and well packaged to protect the item from damage during shipment. Returns are accepted as long as LP is returned in the condition received. Sealed items will only be permitted if returned unopened.
Shipping cost is $4 per LP. To reduce shipping cost, I will combine shipping on multiple items bid and won during the same auction cycle. Please do not pay until I have had the opportunity to manually adjust the shipping cost. I cannot hold items for multiple auction cycles as it will affect my EBAY standing in so far as it concerns shipment time. I only accept bids from US based buyers and will only ship to the address recorded for the buyer on PAYPAL, which is the only method I can accept for payment.
Please keep in mind that I am a person looking to sell their collection and not a store or commercial seller. I play grade open items sold and do the best I can in the process to give an honest assessment of the item As is shown by my feedback I think I do a good job of satisfying most buyers. I leave feedback for all buyers and if you are satisfied with the transaction I would greatly appreciate positive feedback from the buyer as well. If for any reason you cannot leave positive feedback or are not satisfied, please have the courtesy of contacting me before leaving negative or neutral feedback. In almost all cases the issue can be worked out to the buyers satisfaction even if it means returning the item. If the item is not as described I will bear all shipping costs including return shipping. If a buyer behaves in a rude or unreasonable manner, and/ or fails to contact me to address issues they have with an item before negative or neutral feedback is left, I will block that buyer from further auction participation. I also reserve the right to block any buyer that leaves negative or neutral feedback when I have done everything possible to put the buyer in a position as if the transaction had not taken place.
I am auctioning almost 5000 records of my own collection, including rock. soul, blues and jazz, that are very clean and, included are some very rare items that rarely are available
