"In 1967, Lou Reed was a member of The Velvet Underground, an early avante garde/proto punk band managed by Andy Warhol and also featuring John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Maureen Tucker. The band began recording their debut albm in 1966, and at Warhol's suggestion added German singer Nico to the line up. The album, appropriately titled 'The Velvet Underground and Nico' was released in March 1967. No one seemed to notice or care as the disc only reached #129 on the Billbaord charts and most critics ignored it. In the ensuing years, however, the critics took a second look at the album and dramatically reassessed its place in rock history.
In 1977, famed critic Robert Christgau wrote that the record had been difficult to understand in 1967, "which is probably why people are still learning from it. It sounds intermittently crude, thin, and pretentious at first, but it never stops getting better." In 2003, Spin Magazine selected it as the most influential rock album of all time. That same year, Rolling Stone ranked it at #12 on its list of the Greatest Albums Of All Time. The disc came in again at #12 in the magazine's 2012 update of that list, and then at #23 in the 2020 version of the rankings. In 2006, Time Magazine listed it among its 100 Greatest Albums Of All Time. Not bad for an album that was released to little or no fanfare.
This soundboard recording captures Reed 13 years after the release of that historic album, in Italy on June 12 1980, 42 years ago today."
