Original 1st US Cotillion Records pressing factory sealed copy of the fourth and last The Velvet Underground album “Loaded” featuring the band's founder and lyrics author Lou Reed who had left the band shortly before the release of the album. It's for this particular reason the very early 1st copies of this album were equipped with a white round hype sticker informing the buyer that Lou Reed had participated in the recording of the album. This extremely rare sticker is located in the upper right-hand corner of the front cover underneath the shrink wrap. The back of the “Printed in U.S.A.” factory sealed cover contains a text including the "1841 Broadway, New York, New York, 10023” address at the bottom. The 1st pressing catalog number SD-9034 is indicated on the front and back cover, and on the spine. Amazing 1st pressing factory sealed copy in vintage Mint condition. The shrink wrap contains two original breathe holes on the front cover and is fully intact without having any tears, splits or missing pieces, only having some very light shelf wear.

FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS' CONSIDERATION

Due to the high risks involved when it comes international shipping, we’ve recently stopped sending our items with USPS First-Class Mail International and now use only USPS Priority Mail International Express. However, if your order exceeds the amount of $5000, we’ll have to ship the package with FedEx as oppose to USPS.

I don't have the information concerning the existing customs regulations and policies in your country. Before placing a bid please find out more details about it yourself. I don't take any responsibility for the length of customs clearance. I also don't have any opportunity to influence the work of postal carriers in any way. For this particular reason, I ship internationally only with expedite shipping service that includes signature confirmation. My capabilities are limited to the professional packing that assures a safe transit throughout the way and fastest shipping dates. After shipping the package I don't accept any claims related to the work of postal service or problems related to the absence of knowledge related to the customs clearance in your country.
