VELVET UNDERGROUND The Velvet Underground & Nico (Very rare and essential 1967 US first issue East Coast press blue & silver Verve label 11-track MONO LP, housed in the legendary Andy Warhol pasted gatefold sleeve with unpeeled banana sticker, with the Emerson "torso" image upside down on the back cover [see more info] and company catalogue inner. The label is a large 't' blue & silver Verve design with 'Side 1' & '2' to the lower left [East Coast design] & hand scratched matrices in the run-offs. This is a wonderful one previous owner copy. The iconic sleeve displays some minor wear mostly to the edges & corners, and has some light foxing. A past owner has written their name neatly on the inside of the sleeve, but there are no deletion cuts or writing and the all-important banana remains unpeeled. The spine is clear as day & the panels remain a wonderful off white. The labels show just a couple of light spindle wear and the vinyl is a really nice and clean Excellent grading, with only very light signs of play. It is virtually impossible to find a first issue copy of this album with an unpeeled banana. Highly Recommended V6-5008) #Top 500 Greatest Albums Of All Time
