VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO: Same (1967)
Rare stereo copy with airbrushed torso and 100% BANANA   The vinyl is in nice EX condition, a few hairlines only and plays with great fidelity.  The cover is great close to EX, downgraded because of a punch hole and a worn stem on the banana, where it has some wrinkles, possibly due to peeling. 90% of the banana is unpeeled though and still looks amazing and100% intact. This is overall a great copy and a must have in every serious record collection.

Condition (cover/vinyl): VG++,EX Label and year of release: Verve, US 1967


GRADING There is nothing more irritating than buying an LP which is over graded, so I try to grade as accurate as possible both visual and (mostly) audible and describe any flaws on the record. I grade under a 100W light bulb or sunlight. For play grading I use my Gyro Deck turntable fitted with a Koetsu Black MC cartridge. If there is any dissatisfaction with any LP there is of course a moneyback warranty. 
M-: Perfect copy, the copy that looks like it was bought yesterday and only have been played a few times. EX: This has been played but still a very satisfying copy that would please most collectors. No scratches or cover wear, LP plays without any problem, as good as perfect in fact many dealers M- is what I would call EX  VG++: This copy has been played and cover has some wear but still a very good copy that should satisfy most people except the MINT puritans. VG+: This is a played copy, plays with some clicks and background noise. But still the music should be the central part. Cover has ring wear but still not a torn cover or anything.VG: This is a more used copy with some scratches and clicks, no stops or skips though, cover has heavy wear. VG: This is a worn copy and I will only sell items with this grading or lower if they are very rare.
