THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO Stereo 1st East Coast U.S. pressing on Verve Records. 1967 featuring fully visible "torso" back cover featuring actor Eric Emerson. East Coast pressing indicated by the "Side 1" and "Side 2". I played the album all the way through to test for sound quality. 

Vinyl is in VG condition overall. Light marks except one that covers 90% of the song "There She Goes". Not a very loud click, not too distracting. The rest of the record plays closer to VG+, really nice enjoyable stereo sound.

Cover in VG, is missing the banana. Still has a lot of nice gloss, yellowing and corner dings. The spine and seams are solid except a 4" split on the top inner sleeve near the record opening. A 1" split starting in the middle of the bottom seam.

Original Verve inner sleeve included.
