A Japanese pressing ofThe Velvet Underground & Nicoby the Velvet Underground & Nico, including the original obi and anunpeeledbanana sticker on the front cover.

Note:This 1986 pressing was the final Japanese issue before Japanese record companies stopped pressing vinyl. Most copies were sold on compact disc; the vinyl pressing is fairly scarce.

This copy ofThe Velvet Underground & Nicois a 1986 Japanese pressing on the Verve label of an album that was originally released in the U.S. in 1967, but which was not released in Japan until 1973.

The cover is M-. The banana sticker is present, fully intact and is M-. The obi is VG++ with a couple of minor wrinkles and slight wear at the top edge, but no tears.. The lyric insert is M-.

The disc is VG+ with a light hairline through the last half of the "All Tomorrow's Parties" and a fingernail mark through the first two tracks on side two. (see photo.) The mark looks worse in the photos than it is; it's not a deep scratch and should be inaudible.
