RARE 1967 US MONO VERVE V-5008 FIRST PRESSING WITH UNCENSORED BACK COVER ARTWORK. MATRIX # IS EXTREMELY TINY ON ONE SIDE, MY EYES WON'T FOCUS. THE OTHER SIDE I CAN READ "V-5008 SIDE 2 MO559"

The album was released on March 12, 1967, peaking at #171 on  Billboard Magazine's Top 200 charts. The promising commercial début of the album was dampened somewhat by legal complications: the album’s back cover featured a photo of the group playing live with another image projected behind them; the projected image was a still from a Warhol motion picture, "Chelsea Girls". The film’s cinematographer, Eric Emerson, had been arrested for drug possession and, desperate for money, claimed the still had been included on the album without his permission (in the image his face appears quite big, but upside down). MGM Records pulled all copies of the album until the legal problems were settled (by which time the record had lost its modest commercial momentum), and the still was airbrushed out.

THERE IS NO 'BANANA PEEL' ON THE FRONT COVER, THERE IS MODERATE SHELF WEAR ON THE TOP SEAMS WITH 4" TOP RIGHT CORNER SEAM SPLIT. THE COVER HAS LIGHT GENERAL SHELF SOIL AND A CRIMP IN THE COVER SURFACE NEAR THE LOWER TIP OF THE BANANA. SPINE IS NICE & SOLID WITH ALL SPINE PRINT STRAIGHT AND UNDAMAGED. OTHER THAN SLIGHT SHELF SOIL RING ON THE BACK, THE LEGENDARY BACK COVER ART IS NICE AND CLEAR.

LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN AS ARE BOTH PLAYING SURFACES WITH ONLY LIGHT SUPERFICIAL PLAY WEAR, LIGHT INNER SLEEVE MARKS OR HAIRLINES, AND SOME PURELY SUPERFICIAL VISIBLE SCUFFS. STILL OVERALL NICE AND CLEAN, NOT ABUSED.
