HERE'S OUR LISTING - GOOD LUCK! NO RESERVE!

THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO   "(Andy Warhol) The Velvet Underground & Nico" 1967 first pressing 1st LP, with the soon withdrawn 'torso cover', hidden by the large black & white sticker attached to the back cover. NOTE: the LP is beautiful but WARPED. Read the description.

THE FAMOUS REMOVABLE 'PEEL IT AND SEE'  "BANANA PEEL" STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE FRONT COVER, EXPOSING THE 'BANANA', AND IS MISSING. THE COVER HAS NOT BEEN KEPT IN A PROTECTIVE SLEEVE AND SHOWS TYPICAL SHELF WEAR, SOIL, AND WEAR RING FRONT & BACK. THERE IS A SEAM SPLIT IN THE TOP RIGHT OF THE SLEEVE APPROX 3-1/2" LONG, AND OTHER MUCH SMALLER FINE-LINE SPLITS HERE & THERE ALONG THE TOP SEAM. THE SPINE AND BOTTOM SEAM ARE INTACT. THE 'V6' OF THE STOCK NUMBER AT THE TOP OF THE SPINE IS PARTIALLY WORN OFF, THE REST OF THE SPINE PRINT IS INTACT. THERE IS NO WRITING OR STICKERS ON THE SLEEVE, OTHER THAN THE HUGE STICKER ON THE BACK. THE INNER GATEFOLD HAS LIGHT BROWN FOXING, LIGHT STAINS, AND GENERAL SHELF SOIL & LIGHT WEAR. THE LP ITSELF IS NICE AND GLOSSY WITH BRIGHT, CLEAN LABELS. BUT - IT HAS A DEEP WARP IN ONE SPOT AT THE OUTER EDGE, THAT CREATES A WAVE THAT ABSOLUTELY NO TONE-ARM AT ANY WEIGHT WILL BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE.  AT THE AUSTIN, TEXAS, RECORD SHOW LAST WEEK SOME  OF US DISCUSSED THE LIKELIHOOD THAT A MODERN 'WARP-REMOVING' DEVICE MIGHT BE ABLE TO CORRECT THIS. PERSONALLY, I VERY MUCH DOUBT IT. EVEN THOUGH ONLY IN ONE AREA I THINK IT IS JUST TOO DEEP TO EVER BE DRAWN DOWN FLAT ENOUGH TO PLAY PROPERLY. 

SO - I AM SELLING THIS BASICALLY AS A PART - AN IMPORTANT PART, YES, BUT A PART ONLY - THE ORIGINAL COVER WITH THE NOTORIOUS STICKER HIDING THE OFFENDING TORSO, AND BEING SOLD STRICTLY AS-IS.

LOOK THE PICTURES OVER CAREFULLY, WHAT YOU SEE IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU GET, A VERY USABLE FIRST PRESSING COVER CENSORED WITH THE STICKER, AND A WARPED RECORD THAT I DON'T THINK CAN BE FIXED.

PUT A DECENT RECORD WITH THE COVER AND YOU'VE GOT A BONAFIDE RELIC OF THE ANDY WARHOL PSYCHEDELIC 60'S !

AS-IS !

STANDARD INTERNATIONAL AIR MAIL TO JAPAN, SWITZERLAND, SWEDEN/DENMARK/NORWAY, UK, HOLLAND/BELGIUM, FRANCE & GERMANY FOR THIS LP IS $25,  TO CANADA IS $18.
