URBANASPIRINES | THE VELVET UNDERGROUND & NICO : 45th Anniversary Deluxe Edition 2012






The Velvet Underground & Nico: The Velvet Underground & Nico 45th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition 2012


A 6 disc special from the 45th Anniversary box from 12 years ago . . long out of print would be my guess but really worth checking out!


 

The Velvet Underground was an American rock band formed in New York City in 1964. It originally comprised singer and guitarist Lou Reed, Welsh multi-instrumentalist John Cale, guitarist Sterling Morrison, and drummer Angus MacLise. In 1965, MacLise was replaced by Moe Tucker, who played on most of the band's recordings. Too far ahead of their time for pop music's mainstream, the VU made a profound impression on thoughtful listeners, many of whom would go on to make groundbreaking music of their own, and they would belatedly be acknowledged as one of rock's most important groups.
