ITEM DESCRIPTION

Artist: THE VELVET UNDERGROUND
Title: Searchin' for the Mainline
Format: 3 x LPs Box Set
Condition: Records are in mint condition, unplayed (in my collection since years, bought new, I never played them) / Boxset in excellent condition. With all the inserts (giant sticker, poster) + an extra poster (the same that the original one but with pinholes, to put in your bedroom wall and conserve the other one in mint condition!)

Comment: 500 copies limited edition. One of the best Velvet Underground collection LP ever!
'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).
