For sale is a 1972 reissue copy of the Velvet Underground & Nico’s classic banana cover album!!! This copy has a printed banana on the cover instead of the banana sticker. Originally released in 1967, this landmark album saw Andy Warhol’s house band at his art studio, the Factory, join up with German singer Nico to make easily one of the greatest albums of all time, if not THE greatest. The vinyl is conservatively graded V.G.+ for some light scuffing & some small, very light scratches that pass the fingernail test and should be barely audible (see pictures for more detail). The vinyl has a lot of gloss so almost no groove-wear! The record was also cleaned on a V.P.I. machine! The record will also be shipped in a plastic-lined inner sleeve! The jacket is conservatively graded V.G. for a roughly 5” split at the top opening, a small, roughly 1.5” split on the bottom (both splits were repaired to the best of my ability with glue and an X-Acto knife and should hold together pretty well, see pictures for the before & after), some scuffing, a small spot of sticker residue in the top-left corner on the front, some light corner dings & light ring-wear. Very conservatively graded and the imperfections are given in more detail in the pictures. This is a beautiful copy overall! Make a bid or buy it now!!! For U.S. buyers, this will be shipped to you via U.S.P.S. Media Mail, and for international buyers, this will be shipped to you via eBay International Shipping or the United States Postal Service First-Class International Delivery; if you want your package to be registered or insured, let me know so I can add it to the cost of your shipping! I do not charge, nor am I responsible for, customs fees and/or charges when shipping internationally!!! Every used record is cleaned on a V.P.I. vacuum record cleaning machine & visually-graded as opposed to play-graded unless otherwise stated. Unless the record is sealed, every record will be shipped with the record outside of the jacket to prevent seam-splitting; the record is also shipped surrounded by bubble wrap and cardboard insert inside a shipping box with cardboard corners. Thank you for your patronage to Saturn 9 Records!!!
