In the late 80's, just as CDs were swamping LP sales, there were still some new vinyl releases out there--I think this must have been the last original vinyl release for the Velvet Underground catalog. It's a beautiful pressing in NM condition, and absolutely justifies a vinyl listen since the mix is so atmospheric.
This is the first pressing (Hauppague press) of this set of unreleased songs that are essentially the album that was supposed to come out on Verve as their 4th album, but when Verve dropped them, all these songs remained in the can, and "Loaded" on Atlantic was a whole different thing. (A couple of the cuts are older, 1967-68, and include John Cale.)
Classic sound worth hearing and it wasn't a smash hit at the time, so I don't know how many of these are out there, at least not in this kind of condition. This also includes the original inner sleeve with essay, that's got some creases and small rips.
