NICO Desertshore Orig REPRISE 1970 LP Avant Garde Velvet Underground NEAR MINT!

NICO : Desertshore LP (Reprise/Warner Brothers [USA] RS 6424) 1970.

Jacket is EX due to name written on upper right of back cover and very slight jacket wear only. Record is NM (our highest grade for an opened record).

From a large single-owner collection (see our other auctions for more from the same collection). The previous owner made a habit of taping his LPs as he bought them and only playing the tapes to preserve the condition of his vinyl. So, most of the records we are listing from this collection are either Excellent or Near Mint even in cases where the jackets are not. We regret that he didn’t store his records in outer sleeves and that he added his name to many of the records which has led to some wear and lower grades to jackets of otherwise NM records. Better than the other way around though! See each record description for condition specifics.

Near Mint copy of the great Desertshore LP by Nico. This does not appear to have been played much, if at all. Cut corner. Name written on label as well as rear jacket. Original inner sleeve included.
