VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO FULLY INTACT NEVER PEELED BANANA!
THIS IS THE ORIGINAL RECORD ALBUM THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING! ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC ROCK RECORDS IN HISTORY. VERVE V6-5008. AN UNPEELED, FULLY INTACT THICK ORIGINAL BANANA STICKER  IS NOW A RARITY.  MANY LISTED ARE PRINTED OR COUNTERFEIT. THIS ONE IS THE REAL DEAL. THESE WERE VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE SO ORIGINAL STICKER ALBUMS LIKE THIS ONE WERE ONLY MADE FROM 1967 TO ABOUT 1972. (NOTE THAT THIS AUTHENTIC STICKER HAS A RIM OF YELLOW AROUND THE EDGE OF THE BANANA PEEL. FAKE STICKERS AND PRINTED BANANAS RARELY HAVE THIS.)  BOTH THE COVER AND LABEL SHOULD BE AND ARE A MATTE SURFACE, AS IN THIS ONE.

COVER: VERY GOOD PLUS (VG+)
-Airbrushed torso -Brown discoloration on both sides, some ring wear on the back cover -these matte covers started to brown immediately and one needs to be careful of authenticity or "whitening, either physically or digitally" if not seen -normal "dirt" is seen in the yellow areas of the banana (also, a sign of authenticity) -a very small area of wrinkling in the lower area of the banana -a 2" split inside the middle of the gate fold 
(An unrated original Verve inner sleeve is included)
