EbayEinstellenTilo The Velvet Underground & Nico - S/T aka "Andy Warhol" LP / 1972 USA EAST COAST PRESSING (USA 1972 - Verve / MGM - V6-5008 )

Rare original 1972 USA East Coast Vinyl LP Pressing of legendary 1966 debut album with artwork by ANDY WARHOL on Verve/MGM Records with a PRINTED BANANA. This is a very nice copy (both vinyl & sleeve - see pictures) – very hard to find in this condition!!


Version Details:

After the MGM Record Manufacturing Division in Bloomfield, NJ closed in 1971, Shelley Products Ltd. in Huntington Station, Long Island, NY, took over the East Coast re-pressings for MGM, adding their "Ƨ" mark to the original MGM-marked pressing parts

This version has a gatefold cover with a printed banana and an airbrushed picture on the backsleeve

This version has an unusually small blue/silver "T" label, measuring only 3.875" in diameter

The Song credit for 'European Son' is "Lou Reed - John Cale - Sterling Morrison - Maureen Tucker"

All songs were published by "Oakfield Avenue Music Company BMI", except for 'I'm Waiting For The Man' which was published by "Three Prong Music, Inc. BMI"

Manufacturing credit on label: "MANUFACTURED BY MGM RECORDS, INC., 7165 SUNSET BOULEVARD, HOLLYWOOD, CALIF. 90046"

**************************************************************************************************************************


Grading System / How is the condition of used sound carriers, DVDs, etc. graded?

The condition grading system for used sound carriers, DVDs, etc. is based upon the internationally accepted anglo-american grading system provided by „Goldmine“ or „Record Collector“ magazine

Vinyl & Sleeve grading system


SS/STILL SEALED - the record is still factory sealed and has never been removed from it's sleeve

NM/NEAR MINT - (the highest grade - except for STILL SEALED) vinyl is visually perfect - no scratches or marks at all. Cover is like new

EX+/EXCELLENT PLUS - cover or record have just a few faint paper sleeve marks or completely insignificant hairline scratches that do not affect play at all - visually they should be barely noticeable

EX/EXCELLENT - record has been handled or played carefully, and may have some light paper or spindle marks or other very minor flaws that really shouldn't affect play at all. It will still play clean with very little or no surface noise. Minor signs of wear on the cover - but nothing significant

VG+/VERY GOOD PLUS - record has been played, has some light / hairline-type scratches - but nothing that stands out without close inspection or that can be felt (ie, nothing deep). Really should only be noticed between songs or possibly in very quiet spots and then should not be distracting or continuous. Cover could have light ringwear, small tears , scuffs or small seam splits

VG/VERY GOOD - record has been well played, could have some scratches, perhaps some minor groove wear. There will be some surface noise, occasional clicks or pops - but no skips or jumps. Cover has been well used. Possible tears, seam splits or scuffs

Unlike many other sellers I rarely grade a used item as „mint“. Usually the items are in EX (excellent) to VG (very good) condition.

I usually do not sell records in less than VG condition.

I believe that I grade fair & correct as my feedback shows:

customers are satisfied and can deal with my grading system

Last but not least: I'm a collector myself and follow the golden rule: treat your customers as you wish to be treated yourself and there'll be no trouble

If still in doubt: please feel free to contact me ahead of buying and / or bidding and I gladly explain how the grading system works and can comment specifically on the individual item in question
