THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO 1st Stereo WEST COAST 1967 VG+ Lou Reed

$

400

First pressing Velvet Underground and Nico with Eric Emerson torso cover. West coast pressing indicated by side A and B instead of 1 and 2. A deep groove around the center of label as well.

Vinyl in solid VG+ condition with very light paper scuffs only, looks to be played very little. Visually graded EX, there is some background crackle, but according to some online sources, this release is notorious for vinyl surface noise. Play graded VG+ with excellent audio with some crackle in quieter segments and between songs. Very rare to see this album in such clean condition!

cover in VG+, would be EX is banana sticker was included. Background is white and vibrant, excellent inner gatefold. The top right seam is starting to split about 3 inches (see photos) otherwise all other seams solid and intact.
