Description
Velvet Underground – Searchin’ for My Mainline 3LP box + RARE poster
Very rare original copy (with ultra-rare poster) of this magnificent live Velvet Underground limited edition (of 500) 3LP vinyl box set. The poster measures 3ft x 2ft and features a host of Velvets and Warhol photographs, some very rare (see photo). The records, box and poster are all in excellent condition.
'This is perhaps the best VU (live record) yet made... including no less than three excellent versions of Sister Ray, nine tracks unavailable elsewhere, and eleven remastered songs taken from the best of the live VU repertoire... It comes in a beautiful box... every song a winner... quite spectacular...' (The Velvet Underground Handbook).
See photo for track list.

*Record Collector grading system:
MINT The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
EXCELLENT The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
FAIR The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.
POOR The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
BAD The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler.
