The following description of this superb and nearly impossible to find lp is from the Velvet Underground Web Page-

SWEET SISTER RAY 2-LP, SR1, US, 1987 Matrix #: SR1-A / SR1-B / SR1-C / SR1-D

Side 1: 1. Sweet Sister Ray (21:01).

Side 2: 2. Sweet Sister Ray (18:07).

Side 3: 3. Sister Ray (25:15).

Side 4: 4. Sister Ray (25:02).

Sources: 1, 2 : La Cave, Cleveland 4/30/1968 / 3. The Boston Tea Party, 12/12/1968 / 4 : 'guitar amp' tape, The Boston Tea Party, 3/15/1969.

Notes: the first record offers about 40 minutes of Sweet Sister Ray intro to Sister Ray! Second record has the famous blasting 'guitar amp' Sister Ray. Back cover says side 3 is from Second Fret, Philadelphia, Jan 1970 but this version comes actually from the December 12, 1968 Boston Tea Party tape and is sometimes considered as the best version ever. The records come in a great picture cover using the two famous shots by Ken Greenberg, originally published in Crawdaddy! magazine in 1968. Definitely

Payment Methods

I prefer PayPal but will also accept money orders. Payment expected within 7 days. Checks will be accepted from those bidders with good feedback (A minimum of 10). We reserve the right to hold checks for ten days before shipping.

ALL International bidders MUST PAY VIA PayPal. We do not accept international money orders. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.

Shipping Terms

DOMESTIC shipping is to be paid by the winning bidder and will include Delivery Confirmation. We do not charge "handling" or "packing" fees... we charge the ACTUAL postage cost plus .65 for Delivery Confirmation. In most cases we use USPS Priority Mail as that is the quickest and most economical. The postal service supplies the mailing boxes allowing us to not charge any handling fees. Heavier items may be sent via Parcel Post if that is more economical. If it is less expensive to ship an item in a Priority Mail flat rate box vs. regular Priority Mail we will do that. In the case of small items that can be sent via First Class in a padded envelope, we charge a flat rate which covers the cost of the envelope. Insurance is optional and recommended. Multiple item purchases will be combined for a substantial savings in shipping charges.

INTERNATIONAL bidders please use the calculator below to find shipping cost to your country. Just enter your country in the drop down box and click the "update" button. You may also contact us for shipping charges to your locale. International Postage rates were raised quite a bit in May '07 by the US Postal Service. There is a handling charge for all international shipments due to the extra work (boxes, customs forms) required.

Returns and Miscellaneous

We take our time to produce clear sharp photographs and describe any defects present. All items are guaranteed to be as described and as seen in the photos. If an item is found to be otherwise, a refund will be given.
