What It Is:

This is the Velvet Underground's third album, featuring classic songs Sweet Jane, Rock and Roll, etc. The jacket shows the original 1841 Broadway address, but the LP has the 75 Rockerfeller Plaza address, which I assume means this is therefore a reissue (my WLP of this album has the 1841 Broadway address on the label). However, the run-out groove has the original mastering matrix information (see the Details section below). The jacket has some ring wear, but not in the upper, white part of the front of the jacket (which therefore looks excellent). The disk has superficial marks which are not audible and the record plays at least VG++.

Grading standards:

All items are visually graded, and if they've been play graded that will be noted. I follow . My grading is conservative, at least as good as I would expect from anyone that I would buy from.

Payment:

I accept PayPal. If you must return the item, it must be in the same condition that I sent it, but I will refund your full purchase price and return shipping cost within the USA (outside of the USA, I'll refund the bid price, but you must pay for return shipping unless I've made a serious error, in which case I'll pay shipping too) -- I guarantee your satisfaction.

Shipping cost and Insurance:

Within the USA: I ship via the US Postal Service, priority and media mail. Costs are based on the shipping weight and package size. Please contact me for shipping to other locations. As always, if your winning bid is above $50, I will pay for insurance within the USA.

Outside of the USA: I now use eBay Global Shipping for all international shipments -- it relieves many headaches for both buyer and seller.

Thanks for looking and bidding!
