Product Details

Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Maureen Tucker recorded these songs in 1966 with a worldview so far outside the pop mainstream that most people simply weren't ready. The famous Brian Eno observation about small audiences and enormous influence has never applied more precisely to any record, and the reverberations through punk, post-punk, noise rock, and beyond are simply incalculable.

Although Warhol, who was listed as producer on the album, allegedly gave the Velvets free reign over their sound, it was on his insistence that Nico performed on this album. However, this does not detract from the fact that when this album was made the Red Sea parted, and the Velvet Underground crossed into the Promised Land. Deluxe gatefold jacket with peeling banana and "Chelsea Girls" bonus track on B5
