Description

ARTIST:      the VELVET UNDERGROUND -
TITLE:          "LOADED" .
FORMAT:     …vinyl LP…
LABEL:         Atlantic / distributed by Polydor .
CAT. #:          2400 111  .
DATE OF RELEASE:   1971 .
PRESSED IN:    UK .
ORIGINAL FIRST PRESSING?   Yes...on the red and maroon and white labels, PRE-Kinney distribution (just like those lovely early Led Zep LPs)....and a VERY beautiful copy it is too . 

This is one of the initial pressing that Polydor handed over to Kinney straight after the new distribution deal was done, and the latter has added a sticker to the back with their new catalogue number...see pic. (Kinney Record Group was the division of Kinney National Company, who in 1969 bought Warner Bros.-Seven Arts, and used that name briefly before becoming Warner Communications...you know the rest. In the UK, Kinney took over the deal that Polydor had struck up with WB-7Arts in late 1971...just after Led Zep 4 came out in fact...they got to ride that one for a very short time...bet they, Polydor, were seething!)

CONDITION:

COVER: (VG++)...has some scuffing to the edges, a small crease at bottom left and right, and a few small creases at the spine (all visible in pix)...

VINYL: (EX)...it's in truly beautiful condition...just has a couple of scuffs and VERY VERY light marks as its only blemishes, and so much of its original factory fresh sheen!!...you'll love it!!...comes in original inner sleeve, although I forgot to turn it round in the pic to make it obvious...

LABELS: (Side One: MINT / Side Two: MINT)...pristine, clean, and beautiful!!!...(well, except for my fingerprints which I just noticed in the pix and which are no longer there!!)

If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).

You can pay in US$'s or UK pounds or EURO's or Australian dollars.
