Back cover: This vinyl  copy of v6-5008 in Stereo is one of numerous stages of retouching of actor Eric Anderson’s (Warhol’s Chelsea’s Girls) image. The upside down face & torso image as seen on earlier copies were a subject of a lawsuit and have been airbrushed on this copy.This edition does not have a large black sticker blocking the image completely. Anderson’s facial image is projected on the back of the gatefold cover while the VU are playing in the foreground.

This is possibly a West Coast edition of The Velvet Underground with Nico in contrast to the widely distributed east coast pressing for the  standard Verve Blue label for this edition is a lighter blue T design (photo) than most copies sold online.
