Velvet Underground & Nico / Same Title
Japan Orig. LP


Verve MV 2060

Appendices: “Banana Sticker ( on the front cover )” & “Insert”
( OBI is Missing )

Description: This is scarce Japanese original copy ( released in 1973 ) of their 1st album, coming with a rare insert. This album was not issued in Japan until in 1973. Cover is not gate-fold, but original single one with the “banana sticker” on its front. Price on the back cover is JPY2000, proving that it’s the 1st Japanese press. Though obi is missing, it’s still hard to find Japanese copy of this album even in our country nowadays. Scarce item from Japan to serious collector.


Condition: VG/VG+ ( Cover / Disc )


COVER: Cover is good in condition, except for lightly worn corners & outer edges. A banana sticker is still on the front cover which is torn short in its upper portion ( See photo ). Cover itself is lightly tanned with minor stains for aging around rims of each side. Otherwise it has no tear, ring-wear, dent, strip & writing…OK.

DISC: Disc is good in condition, keeping glossy. Some slight scuffs are on Side B. There are several spindle-marks on each label. Otherwise it has none of any scratch & hairline, which is to be rated as "VG+". No flaw on the groove of Side A.

OBI: Missing

INSERT: VG, being lightly creased with some brown spots around rims of each side.
