Velvet Underground & Nico / Same Title
Japan Audiophile Edition LP


Verve 18MM 0526

Appendices: "Green OBI", "G/F Cover w/ Banana Sticker" & "Insert"

Description: This is scarce Japanese Audiophile edition copy ( released in 1986 ) of their legendary 1st album, comin' with complete appendices. The "Peel Slowly / Banana Sticker" is still on the front-cover. AD on obi reads in Japanese "Digitally Re-mastered". It may be only in Japan to issue this album as audiophile on vinyl. It's hard to find this item even in my country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/EX- ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for slightly creased spine-edge. The banana-sticker is still on the front. It’s slightly tanned with minor brown spots along the top-rims of each side and center-fold inside gate-fold. Some minor scratches are on the front & back. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is excellent in condition, keeping glossy. A light scratch ( hairline ) is on Side A-1~2 ( inaudible ). There’re a few to several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scuff, which can be rated as “EX-". No flaw on the groove of Side B. A light hairline on Side A-1~2 is only flaw on the groove.

OBI: VG, being with minor brown spots in places on the surface of back side. On the front, it’s discolored in the top-edge and rims, while being lightly stained in the bottom-rim of front.

INSERT: EX.
