VELVET UNDERGROUND The Velvet Underground (Rare 1969 first issue 10-track STEREO LP, which features the uncensored shot of Lou holding a magazine on the front, a unique 'split-screen' photo on the reverse and Val Valentin engineer credit, front laminated flip-back picture sleeve. After the departure of John Cale this third album marked a real shift in style for the band with several acoustic songs and more direct songwriting throughout, leaving aside The Murder Mystery that is! The sleeve shows some ringwear and edgewear with some light laminate rippling along the spine but remains fully intact, the vinyl does show some visible scuffs/hairlines with the occasional 'pop' in places but this is minimal and does not greatly impact upon the overall sound - this is a hard-to-find record and the first one we've ever seen!
