Description
Lou Reed – Metal Machine Music (The Amine β Ring) Gatefold 2 x Vinyl LP. EX/VG/VG+ Offers?
Original copies of Metal Machine Music (the Album was withdrawn from the market after a few weeks) are one of the most wanted albums for hardcore vinyl collectors. This is apparently a very rare and very collectable RCA USA marketing department labelled special cut.
Reed, like his mentor Andy Warhol, couldn't care less about critics or convention and most probably enjoyed the reaction the record caused. If you are looking for something that is only going to go up in value in the long run, this is a good bet.
Sensible offers welcome.
We also have a copy this week of the brilliant "Transformer" for fans of Reed's more conventional music.
Comes with a vintage clear protective sleeve.
As it gets near Christmas, Couriers can be unreliable. Items can be delayed, damaged or lost., So, an early realistic offer is a safer bet than an auction.
Always read condition description and check all pictures. All items sold as seen. We visually check all items but our Vinyl, Book, Tape or other item grading is only indicative (especially as there are different grading systems in use)*. Many sellers don't show close up surface pictures. We do.
Multiple Vinyl LPs EPs or singles etc. can be shipped for ONE postage & packaging payment.
So why not have a look around? Same working day shipping.
About Vinyl Valhalla: We collect vintage, rare & obscure vinyl, instruments, amps, tapes, CDs, books & memorabilia & find good new homes. We aren't dealers. We don't sell new, or grade vinyl Mint or Near Mint. If you want like new, don't buy from us. Our vinyl is mostly Very Good to Very Good Plus. That means decent quality, visually checked & reasonable prices. Occasionally there's something special higher or lower.
* We use the eBay grading system but be aware it can conflict with Discogs which uses Goldmine and does not get used by all sellers in the same way. eBay EX does not mean Near Mint. We apply eBay VG based on the Goldmine standard: "When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches may be audible".
To summarise: We don't play test. Each time you play valuable vintage vinyl you are adding wear and risking an accident. Dealers who claim they play test, often don't for that reason (and because it is uneconomically time consuming). So our grading is visual and indicative. We supply buyers close up pictures, some sellers don't. So, look at the pictures and if you don't agree with the grade, don't buy. We do a basic clean on vinyl but expect buyers to be aware of the need to clean vinyl themselves before playing.
Our Vinyl and Book edition information is based on our research. Discogs is not 100% complete or accurate. You are free to do your own.
On vintage tapes you can't safely check them end to end. Plus, problems replaying them can come from the deck - dirty heads or unreliable motors.
We don't usually set up instruments or add new strings - strings and action are personal preferences. That keeps our costs to you down.
Restoration guitars are SOLD AS SEEN as they may need additional work.
We do not check every single page of a book. All books are sold as seen.
If Vintage is your thing, we're on the same wavelength.
