The Velvet Underground & Nico LP ‘67 Verve Gatefold-Full Emerson Image-Sticker! Stereo

Vintage vinyl

Haven’t played this in decades. It’s clearly been on the platter a bit. Cover is what it is, but has the original Emerson photo and the banana sticker. Was removed once at the top…and paid for it! Cannot vouch for the inner sleeve. The vinyl has a 1.25” diameter press ring and early vinyl press marks. All tracks are here.

Lou Reed was a master and this record is so well regarded. And then there’s the addition of Nico and Warhol’s input.

Selling my indie record collection to pay off my student loans. Tough times..

Will combine shipping. Just ask for an invoice within 25 days of your winning bid. USA only as eBay doesn’t combine invoices for foreign shipments. See my other indie issues.

“There are three versions of the back cover of the original American release:

1st - Has an image of actor Eric Emerson projected upside-down on the wall behind the band. Sometimes referred to as “first state”, the “Emerson Cover”, or more recently the “Torso Cover”.-THIS ONE

2nd - The actor's image is covered by a large black sticker.

3rd - The actor's image is airbrushed out.

Historical info: The actor Eric Emerson (2), protagonist of some multimedia films projected behind the group during Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable, filed a lawsuit against the record label for the non-payment of the rights regarding his image that can be seen upside down on the back cover of the first version. So between March and April 1967, the album was suddenly withdrawn from trade and shops. After a few months, the album was redistributed with a huge sticker that covered the top of the offending photo. Subsequent pressings had the image airbrushed out completely.”-Discogs
