Format Vinyl LP
Limited edition pressing of classic album on Pink vinyl. Extremely limited edition - only 1000
units made for the world, and only 100 in Canada. In addition to
reproducing Warhol's beloved original "banana cover" design, complete
with peel-able banana sticker, the 50th-anniversary vinyl edition also
reproduces the album's original gatefold cover as well as its rare
original back-cover "torso" photo, with Lou Reed's face superimposed
over the torso of Warhol associate Eric Emerson. The photo appeared in
this form on The Velvet Underground and Nico's initial pressing, but was
quickly altered for later editions when Emerson threatened legal
action. The shot is restored to its original glory on the 50th
anniversary edition, along with a replica of the black sticker that was
once used to obscure the disputed image. The sticker will be attached to
the shrink wrap of the anniversary LP, allowing listeners to experience
the album's full original package. An additional insert has been added
for this edition, with vintage images plus new liner notes by Velvets
co-founder John Cale and Richie Unterberger, author of the book White
Light/White Heat: The Velvet Underground Day-By-Day.
