Notes
Two single-sided test pressings of the stereo original LP. This November 1966 test pressing pre-dates the album's release by a few months and omits the song "Sunday Morning." The released version of this LP was re-cut to include "Sunday Morning" as the first track on side one, so most stock copies contain an additional "REV" etched in the trail-off area on side 1, and "RE-1" on side 2.
We're not sure if these discs came with a cover, but since they were presented as such (and it appears vintage) we assume they are a pair. The three stickers ("Test Pressing", "Velvet Underground" and "'The Velvet Unerground & Nico'") were applied after the fact, likely when it was offered for sale.

Edited 2 years agoDavid Bowie listed this as one of his "greatest discoveries" in a Vanity Fair article back in 2003, it sounds like he may have had this version, or something very similar...
From Vanity Fair Archive:
THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO (1967, Verve)
Brought back from New York by a former manager of mine, Ken Pitt. Pitt had done some kind of work as a P.R. man that had brought him into with the Factory. Warhol had given him this coverless test pressing (I still have it, no label, just a small sticker with Warhol's name on it) and said, "You like weird stuffsee what you think of this." What I "thought of this" was that here was the best band in the world. In December of that year, my band Buzz broke up, but not without my demanding we play "I'm Waiting for the Man" as one of the encore songs at our last gig. Amusingly, not only was I to cover Velvet's song before anyone else in the world, I actually did it before the album came out. Now that's the essence of Mod. -
I read I forget where that the real holy grail for this classic is the version that doesn't include Sunday Morning. They said it's worth 30 grand.
