The Velvet Underground - & Nico
- 1967

The album cover is recognizable for featuring an Andy Warhol print of a banana. Early copies of the album invited the owner to "Peel slowly and see", and peeling back the banana skin revealed a flesh-colored banana underneath.

A special machine was needed to manufacture these covers. MGM paid for costs figuring that any ties to Warhol would boost sales of the album.
