This is an overall fine white label promo copy of the second solo LP by Velvet Underground founding member John Cale, released in 1972.  The unipak jacket comes with a die-cut front cover with a custom sticker from the Kodak Company, both of which are intact, and an ink stamp of Andy Warhol's name on the back cover.  The jacket has several minor flaws: light ring wear and staining; a sticker stain on the front cover; light corner, seam, and edge wear; and the word “PROMO” written in small letters in red ink on the back cover -- overall EX-.  The disc has small pockmarks in the last track of both sides that pop for several seconds, but don’t skip.  It's otherwise in fine overall condition with some light scuffing, and light to moderate surface noise during playback (VG+).

I am in the process of selling off a large personal collection amassed over two decades.  All discs have been stored in plastic lined inner sleeves separate from their sleeves.  The sleeves have been stored in plastic sleeves.  Many records were purchased new.  Most were played just 1-2 times and taped.  I have play graded (spot checked) discs except where otherwise noted, and have tried to err on the side of caution when imperfections are apparent.

If you'd like to order multiple items, I'll happily combine them so that you won't have to pay multiple shipping charges.
