This auction is for a rarity LP, a scarce pressing and NOT often in circulation, currently only a few exist on all vinyl record related sites for purchase.. The Velvet Underground & Nico Album, Produced by Andy Warhol, Original 1967 Vinyl, Gatefold with picture insert. Blue Label, Silver Script/Font STEREO V6/5008 (MGS 558) SIDE 1 and on SIDE 2 STEREO V6/5008 (MGS 559) The run out on SIDE 1 is V6-5008 SIDE-1 MGS-558-REV  on SIDE 2 the dead wax reads the same except -REV is NOT etched.
The cover is a slightly above the VG grading. If we start with the banana it is complete, however the curiosity killed the cat just enough. As you can see in the photos the peel was made only to the stem and a faint feathering of a pencil point was drawn to "mark" the peeled portion. It was re-centered and put back in place by the original owner and is otherwise, stem down; aligned and unpeeled. The normal grit from dusty fingers and living the shelf life is apparent. Some ringwear, corner dings and a weathered spine (see pics). The gatefold does have some check marks by the tracks on the inside, again see pictures. The back cover is the airbrushed torso. See added pic
The vinyl is VG+. It does have some light surface scratches on both side, however the vinyl has been play tested and plays with no skips in its entirety. It has been professionally cleaned and stored upright until shipment. See photos and please ask any questions that you may have. This record will be shipped in a top quality media mailer in a 3mm poly plastic sleeve thru the USPS via Priority Mail. Thank you and Happy Bidding on owning an amazing rarity! NO RESERVE
