Notes
There are three versions of the back cover of the original American release:
1st - Has an image of actor Eric Emerson projected upside-down on the wall behind the band. Commonly known as the "Torso" cover (despite showing only Emerson's head and arms), this variant is also referred to as “first state” or the “Emerson Cover.”
2nd - The actor's image is covered by a large black sticker.
3rd - The actor's image is airbrushed out.
Historical info: The actor Eric Emerson (2), protagonist of some multimedia films projected behind the group during Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable, filed a lawsuit against the record label for the non-payment of the rights regarding his image that can be seen upside down on the back cover of the first version.
This led to the album bring temoprarily withdrawn from sale, likely in late 1967, while a large black lawsuit sticker was applied to the rear sleeve of remaining stock. On the rear sleeve of all subsequent pressings, the image is airbrushed to obscure Emerson.

referencing The Velvet Underground & Nico (LP, Album, Reissue, Peeling Banana, 180g, Gatefold) 900051
My pressing sounds good, the vinyl lovers logo isnt the coolest one´,s but hey! other pressings has the same design failures, hahahaha. and the one´s with the better hand for a perfect design had the same chance to release this iconic album, did they? no! the peeling banana is great! i compared this version to the Polydor Stereo 2459 358 pressing, which is not so powerful and loud like this release here. on top. this version is gatefold and a really nice reproduction of the original one PLUS a beautiful bonus track. so thank you vinyl lovers! your name is programme! - After scouring all the versions on discogs, I'm happy I settled on this one. Very nice quality, super quiet vinyl. Probably the best this bad recording can sound.
- It would be very very difficult to get another all analog pressing that sounds as good as one of these. It would be impossible to get another that sounds this good at this price. I have an original, and have heard/ had many other variants. This is a top banana.
- No banana but such a historic artefact, first UK mono pressing. I can’t imagine this pressing sold many copies on release but who knows which future luminaries of British music had their hands on it.
- I like the way it sounds but my copy is warped. On my setup I would not call it bass heavy. The mastering is quiet and warm. Recommended.

referencing The Velvet Underground & Nico (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, 180g, Milky Clear) 823 290-1
I have what i believe is this copy (its clear colored, verve label, 180g). However i believe the barcode got mixed up. My copy has the following stamped on the runout: 130246E1/T 8232901.
Edit- the copy i received did have the correct SN on the outer sealed wrapper, but a different barcode was printed on the back of the jacket. I believe the factory may have just mistakenly used an older jacket. referencing The Velvet Underground & Nico (LP, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, 180g, Milky Clear) 823 290-1
My copy came in a resealable outer sleeve instead of shrink wrap, which was a nice surprise. The record sounds fantastic as well, barely any surface noise or pops.- excellent pressing. wish i could say the same about the (absolute lack of) musical quality. ive tried a few times, and i just dont like this band. just cant get into 'em.
