An extremely rare original photograph of the Velvet Underground, circa 1968, probably at Andy Warhol’s Factory, and taken by Factory photographer Billy Name.

This photograph came from the original MGM/Verve Records Velvet Underground art file.  Recordmecca’s Jeff Gold purchased the Velvet’s art file in the mid 1970’s from a former MGM employee, who had rescued it from a trash bin.  Over the years we sold some of the file’s contents, but recently reacquired most of it.  This original photograph, printed circa 1968, measures 11″ x 14” and is in excellent condition. Billy Name’s original photographs are rare and highly collectible.

This will come with a letter of authenticity stating it is an original late 60’s vintage prints by Billy Name from the original MGM/Verve Art Files. A rare opportunity indeed.
