The Velvet Underground 'White Light/White Heat' LP

Mega rare original 1968 US LP, confirmed East Coast pressing, features the Velvets on top form, includes I Heard Her Call My Name and the full 17 minutes of Sister Ray...

Side 1 matrix (etched): V6-5046 SIDE-1 MGS -1258 with a stamped 12 and 'block shaped' S

Side2 matrix (etched):  V6-5046 SIDE-2 MGS 1259 with a stamped 12 and 'block shaped' S

VINYL CONDITION:

Shiny vinyl is in clean VG condition, lots of hairline marks/storage scuffs, one feelable mark (pictured) on Lady Godiva's Operation which may skip with a sensitive needle - caused clicks for me but otherwise plays really nicely throughout with light noise
LABEL CONDITION:
Labels in clean VG+ condition, some spindle marks, deep groove pressing

 SLEEVE CONDITION:
Sleeve is in VG- condition, heavy edge and spine wear, creasing, ring wear and some dirt marks. All seams just still intact
Spine reads "V6-5046 White Light / White Heat The Velvet Underground Verve" proving it is a US original and not a later 70s counterfeit, with 'Three Prong Music' publishing credits
Has ‘There She Comes Now’ mis-title on rear and Lou Reed Lead Guitar credit, with skull tattoo on front, as well as Andy Warhol concept credit!
Comes with an original Verve/MGM records inner sleeve

TRACKS:

White Light/White Heat, The Gift, Lady Godiva’s Operation, Here She Comes Now, I Heard Her Call My Name, Sister Ray
