MEGA RARE ANDY WARHOL ART ON THE COVER

3 drawings from Andy; two on the front and one on the back (see photos).
VERY heavy vinyl; VERY thin, fragile paper cover.
.
LP was distributed by Doubleday publishers in 1953 - a mail-order item never available in retail stores.
This record is extremely rare as featured in the book: Andy Warhol - The Record Covers 1949-1987.

One of Warhol's earliest ever commercial pieces, with only a couple of other commissions
(for Columbia Records) preceding it.

It was one of 2 volumes produced and sent, often  separately, that both shared the same artwork. This one on auction: Record 2, shows up much less often; though both are extremely scarce, being of such fragile construction and holding such a heavy vinyl for nearly 50 years - besides being made for language lessons; not something that most people thought to keep past the time of its use.

This is one of the heaviest slabs of VINYL I have ever held -and I've handled tens of thousands of LPs since the early 1970's. The COVER, conversely is one of the thinnest I have ever seen. This inevitably results in split edges. Luckily these splits are clean, with no paper loss at any of the edges. A few tiny edge tears in white border have been closed up from inside with very small strips of the same acid-free tape.

The only missing paper is a tiny (3 millimeter x 3 1/2 millimeter - or half pea-size) surface tear in upper background (not in any of the 3 Warhol illustrations) that I carefully touched up with the exact color (chilli red) of Derwar's inktense retouching pencil. You can hardly tell it's there.
*I've done document repair and art touch-up professionally since the 1980's;
these minor repairs are very clean and precise.

A VERY RARE PIECE OF EARLIEST WARHOL HISTORY.

.
Disc housed inside an anti-static, rice paper inner sleeve.

Please be aware that these important supplies add to my shipping costs - of which only a small fraction is covered in the shipping charge.
