Andy Warhol’s Velvet Underground featuring Nico 2-LP Set

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For auction is the Andy Warhol’s Velvet Underground featuring Nico 2-LP Set. I remember the first time I heard Heroin in the basement of a friend’s house. It was for that song that I bought this album set. As a matter of fact, it is probably the only track in this set that has been played more than one or two times.  

I grade this set Very Good (VG). There is a caveat. I bought these LPs in 1969 or 1970. Nobody but me owned or even played these two records.The two records themselves are in at least Near Mint (NM) condition. Visually, they look like they have never been played. Sound-wise, I cannot say because I don’t want play these records a second or third time.

The cover and the sleeves are another matter. I bought this record set to play the music, not for resale. For that reason, somewhere along the line I replaced one of the plain white paper sleeves with one I bought at a record store. (I guess the record was beginning to break through the original sleeve. I didn’t want any damage to happen to the record.) The new sleeve would have been added probably in 1980 or so, after I had finished my education and moved to another city. The condition of the cover and sleeves, except that one of the sleeves is not original, is Very Good (VG). Other than some light wear along the handling edge of the cover and some minor foxing along the opposite edge, this record set is in perfect condition.

I took some pretty explanatory pictures of the records et al. Look at the pictures for more information.

If you have any questions, please ask before bidding.

PayPal is still the usually most commonly used way to pay but if you don’t want to use PayPal, there are alternatives. I am not familiar with the other payment methods so contact me before bidding if you want to use your credit card, for instance.

For buyers outside the United States, customs and import taxes, if any, are the responsibility of the buyer. 

The package will be labeled Merchandise, not Gift.

I usually send out items within a day of receiving payment but several things could slow me down. I don’t like to send things to an address other than the one provided by eBay. Being a verified buyer and having a confirmed address can help.
