The Velvet Underground & Nico Stereo LP w/Torso Cover

Country:

USA

The Velvet Underground & Nico 11-track Stereo gatefold edition LP released on Verve Records (V-5008), 1967 (East Coast pressing). This is a beautiful copy of the Velvet Underground's debut album, with the iconic Andy Warhol-designed cover. The original banana sticker is still intact.

This copy also has the original and very rare recalled 'Torso' lp cover. When the album was first issued, the main back cover photo (taken at an Exploding Plastic Inevitable performance) featured an image of actor Eric Emerson from one of Warhol's films projected upside-down on the wall behind the band. Emerson threatened to sue over this unauthorized use of his image, unless he was paid. Rather than complying, MGM recalled copies of the album and halted its distribution until Emerson's image could be airbrushed from the photo on subsequent pressings. Copies that had already been printed were sold with a large black sticker covering the actor's image.

I purchased this album in 1968.

It was played alot in the day!! The banana is peeled halfway down. I never removed the sticker completely and it is still intact!

It has been on my shelf for 45 years.
