Description
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND - THE VELVET UNDERGROUND (MGM SE-4617), 1969. STEREO
Lou Reed's original 'closet mix'.
Incredibly RARE West Coast pressing with the publishing rights listed on the labels incorrectly as ASCAP rather than BMI.
The song "What Goes On" is incorrectly listed on the label as running 3:35 and on the rear cover as 4:52. It actually times in at 4:31.
Blue/gold MGM label with catalog number SE 4617 printed to the left of spindle hole, below the word 'STEREO'.
Manufactured by H.V. Waddell, Burbank, California.
Matrix numbers in dead wax:
Side 1 . . . SE4617 Side 1 MGS1824 REV.SP [the final S has a mark scratched through it making the lettering look like BP] Side 2 . . . W.C. SE4617 S-2 MGS-1825 SpECIAL REV [W.C. is etched above SE4617]
Includes original MGM inner sleeve.
Vinyl is a solid VG+, has a few superficial paper scuffs and swipes that are imperceptible to the touch and do NOT affect play. Cover is VG+ with a bit of ring wear. Previous owner's initials ('DE') are written on front in ball point in the dark area on the upper right. Very hard to detect. (See photo.)
A keeper. You will not be disappointed.

All of the 'STILL-SEALED' albums that we sell are GUARANTEED to be original FACTORY-SEALED records and, as such, are considered collectors' items. We cannot accept returns on STILL-SEALED albums if the shrink wrap has been torn, opened, punctured or damaged in any way.
Payment via PayPal only.
All purchases ship within one day of payment. Tracking information will be provided. Records are professionally packaged in industry-standard heavy cardboard record mailers and secured with cardboard fillers and/or bubble wrap. For albums, all non-factory-sealed records are removed from the cover and shipped in the same polyethylene sleeve so as to negate the possibility of seam splits during transport. For box sets, the records will be shipped INSIDE the boxes, as this is the safest way to make sure there is no collapse or damage to the box itself.
And no matter what it may say elsewhere, we do NOT ship to Italy. Sorry. Nothing personal. It's just that your postal system has lost or damaged so many shipments over the years that there is no longer a sense of trust involved in shipping packages to Italy.
All items are VISUALLY GRADED unless otherwise stated. We pride ourselves in ACCURATE and EXTREMELY CONSERVATIVE grading.
