THE VELVETUNDERGROUND & NICO 1967 VERVE RECORDS MONOV-5008
VERY RARE COPY OF THE 1ST THE VELVET UNDERGROUND &NICO PRESSING WITH AN UNPEELED CLASSIC ANDY WARHOL'S BANANA STICKER AND LARGEBLACK LAWSUIT STICKER. THIS IS A SO-CALLED "TORSO" COVER WITH ANIMAGE OF A DANCER AND ACTOR ERIC EMERSON , WHO STARRED IN ANDY WARHOL'S MOVIES.HIS IMAGE WAS INVERTED AND PLACED ON THE BACK COVER OF THE ALBUM. EMERSONINSISTED, THREATING TO FILE A LAWSUIT AGAINST THE RECORD LABEL, ON REMOV...ING HISIMAGE FROM THE ALBUM AS IT WAS PLACED THERE WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION. THE STORYENDED WHEN EMERSON'S IMAGE WAS COVERED WITH A BLACK LARGE STICKER. IT'SCONSIDERED THAT THIS STICKER WAS PLACED ON THE VERY EARLY PRESSING 1ST PRINTCOVERS, WHICH ARE VERY HARD TO FIND. THIS COPY IS ALSO UNIQUE DUE TO THE FACTTHAT IT WAS PRESSED ON THE WEST COAST AND THE VERVE RECORDS LABELS HAVE A DEEPGROOVE.
CONDITION:
VINYL - VG+ I GRADE THE VINYL CONSERVATIVELY SOMEWHERE BETWEENVERY GOOD AND VERY GOOD PLUS, EVEN THOUGH I THINK IT COULD BE GRADED AS SIMPLYVERY GOOD PLUS. EVEN THOUGH THE VINYL HAS SOME LIGHT SCUFFS AND HAIRLINES, ITDOESN'T HAVE ANY DEEP SCRATCHES OR MARKS THAT COULD BE FELT WITH A FINGER NAIL.THE LABELS HAVE BEEN PRESERVED VERY WELL WITH ONLY SOME LIGHT WHITE SPINDLEMARKS, WHICH CAN BE SEEN ONLY IF THEY'RE DIRECTED TOWARDS A STRONG LIGHTSOURCE. THE DEEP GROOVE LOOKS JUST MAJESTIC AS THE WEST COAST PRESSING ISSIGNIFICANTLY HARDER TO FIND THAN THE EAST COAST PRESSING.COVER - VG+ I WOULD GRADE THE COVERCONSERVATIVELY AS STRONG VERY GOOD PLUS. HOWEVER, TO DO JUSTICE TO THIS ALBUMIT LOOKS AS GOOD AS THE COVERS GRADED EXCELLENT ON EBAY. THIS COVER HAD ABAGGY, WHICH WAS WORN OUT, ESPECIALLY ON THE EDGES AND SPINE AND I DECIDED TOSELL THIS RECORD WITHOUT IT AS IT LOOKS WAY BETTER THIS WAY AND SHOWS HOW WELLTHE BAGGY PROTECTED THE COVER ON THE FRONT AND BACK SIDE, INCLUDING THESTICKERS, WHICH ONLY HAVE SOME MINOR RUBBING SCUFFS AND MARKS. ONE OF THEAMAZING THINGS ABOUT THIS COVER IS THAT THE BAGGY PREVENTED ANY RING WEAR ONTHE FRONT OR BACK COVER, WHICH I BELIEVE IS PRESENT ON THE MAJORITY OF THECOPIES OF THIS ALBUM, AND PERFECTLY PRESERVED THE INTERIOR. THE COVER HAS SOMELIGHT WEAR ALONG THE EDGES AND SPINE (THE WEAR DOESN'T AFFECT THE TEXT, WHICH IS FULLY PRESENT). PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS COPY COMES WITH THE ORIGINALVERVE RECORDS INNER SLEEVE, WHICH DOESN'T HAVE ANY SPLITS.
