Description
Here is your opportunity to own the self titled 3rd album from The Velvet Underground. This was the first album after John Cale's departure and it shows The Velvet Underground taking a softer approach. This album is truly a treasure and a must for any Velvet Underground or Lou Reed fans. If you have never heard this album, you owe it to yourself to hear it on vinyl. It is one of my all time favorites and I highly recommend it. Rolling Stone Magazine ranked The Velvet Underground self titled album number 314 out of the top 500 albums of all time. This LP is the 1st US pressing on MGM Records from 1969. This particular LP has Lou Reed's closet mix as opposed to Valentin's mix. This album continues to grow in value and scarcity as time passes. This particular LP has SE-4617 Side-1 MGS-1824 REV FINAL as the matrix number etched in the dead wax, on side one. Side two of the LP has SE-4617 Side-2 MGS-1825 REV FINAL etched on the dead wax. The vinyl is in Very Good Minus condition. The LP has a good number of hairline scratches on each side. Side one has a few more blemishes than side two. A few of the scratches are a little deeper than hairline. The LP also has a very mild storage warp. The album tracks perfectly and does not skip or jump at all. The playback has a pretty consistent background noise. It is not overpowering, but it is more noticeable on the softer tracks. The LP labels are clean with only a few faint spindle marks and some light spindle hole wear, on each side. The LP cover is in Very Good Condition. The album cover has some ring wear on both sides. The seams and spine all have a good amount of wear. The spine has some wear/deterioration, but it is mostly legible. The catalog number is partially missing, but the rest of the spine is legible. The top and bottom seams also have a good amount amount of wear. None of the seams are split. All four corners have some rounding. The bottom left corner has a crease. This album has been professionally cleaned on a VPI 16.5 and will be shipped in a brand new white inner sleeve. The album jacket will come in a new 3 mil poly sleeve. The album will be professional shipped in an LP mailer with two 12 inch cardboard inserts. The LP will be positioned outside of the jacket when shipped. This album is ready for playing or storage. Please let me know if you have any questions. I do not ship outside of the United States. I can combine shipping for multiple auction wins. Please bid with confidence.
