Original 1960s Velvet Underground & Nico (with Lou Reed and John Cale) 45 of "Sunday Morning" and "Femme Fatale." This is on the Verve label #10466. This is has the MUCH RARER, stock dark blue Verve labels with silver print; this is much more difficult to come by than the light blue label promo counterpart!! This is a guaranteed original pressing; the record is pressed on thick/rigid vinyl and the matrix numbers are deeply 'factory printed' in the trailoff area of both sides and it also has the little '1' machine stamper in the trailoff area of both sides as well. The vinyl is in beautifully clean, strict VG to VG+ condition with full gloss and just a little very minor light surface wear only. Both sides play very nicely throughout!! Labels are very bright and attractive also, with no writing or stickers on either and there is NO delete hole either. There is maybe just the faintest hint of light storage/rubbing ringwear to each of the labels (see photos). Both songs were, of course, written by Lou Reed and the b-side was also produced by Andy Warhol. This is among the most difficult of all original Velvet Underground records to come by nowadays!! A portion of both sides of this record can be heard by clicking on the player above. Remember, this sound sample is taken directly from the actual record that is being sold and it has not been altered in any way whatsoever.

I personally write all of my own descriptions, take all of my own photos, and package all items for mailing myself.  I do not use text, photos or information from “other” sources and would certainly never do so without referencing them. Items pictured in any of my listings are always the actual items that buyers will receive from me. 
Payment by PAYPAL ONLY....I do not accept any other form of payment. Unless the buyer makes a different arrangement with me (i.e. contacts me directly), payment is expected within three days (72 hours) from the closing date of the item. After three days, an unpaid item case will automatically be opened and the buyer then has four additional days to complete payment (per Ebay's terms). I am always happy to offer combined shipping for ALL BUYERS for up to one week (seven days) from the closing date of the initial purchase. This is a courtesy that I offer to all buyers regardless of location. Please do not expect me to hold items for 2 or 3 weeks (or even more) while additional bids are placed. Please try to be considerate of this request when bidding on multiple items on different dates. Payment is always expected WITHIN ONE WEEK FROM THE CLOSING DATE OF THE BUYER'S INITIAL PURCHASE.  Combined shipping rates are listed below.   
All of my individual 45s are shipped in professionally-designed, cardboard mailers with extra cardboard padding. 
 Buyer satisfaction and returns:  I offer what I believe is a very reasonable return policy for all individual items (and smaller lots) that I sell. The item must be returned to me exactly as it was packaged and mailed to the buyer. I will refund the original sale price and shipping fee only; return shipping is the buyer’s responsibility. I do not give ‘partial’ refunds either (i.e. the buyer keeps the item for a lesser price). This policy applies to U.S. and non-U.S. buyers alike and regardless of the final sale price of the item. That being said, please ask any and all questions you may have before bidding.

Items are normally shipped within 1 to 2 business days from receipt of payment.
