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 2nd UK pressing on MGM Records from 1971. 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 2353022 A/1 Upside down Triangle Symbol 420 1 6 04 as the matrix number stamped in the dead wax, on side one. Side two of the LP has 2353022 B/1 Upside down Triangle Symbol 420 1 4 04 stamped on the dead wax. The vinyl is in Excellent condition. The LP has a few very faint hairline scratches on each side. The blemishes do not have an affect on the playback. The Playback is much closer to Near Mint. The LP labels are very clean with only a few faint spindle marks on each side. This album also includes the original made in England inner sleeve. The inner sleeve has a poly liner and shows some signs of it's age. The bottom seam has a two inch opening at the center and the inner sleeve also has some yellowing. The laminated LP cover is in Excellent/Very Good Plus Condition. The album cover has some light ring wear on both sides. The seams and spine all have a mild amount of wear. The spine has some wear/deterioration, but it is completely legible. The top and bottom seams also have a fair amount of wear. None of the seams are split. All four corners have some rounding. The top right corner and the bottom left corner have 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.
