In 1966 there was…
…a group that changed the face of popular music forever.

Compared with other popular 60s bands The Velvets may not have had quite such an
immediate impact at the time, but they have made a hugely important and undeniably
influential contribution to music as we know it today.

ABOUT THE RECORD ITSELF… These early rehearsal tapes capture The Velvets finding their feet as a group and breaking in their new
chanteuse Nico, who was installed at Andy Warhol’s behest and had landed in America only a week before these recordings!
‘In 1966…’ features many casual ‘jams’ alongside their own songs – some of which were included on ‘The Velvet Underground & Nico’ debut
album, plus a couple that lay unreleased to this day; most notably ‘Miss Joanie Lee’ and ‘Get It On Time’. Another highlight is Lou Reed
teaching Nico to sing ‘There She Goes Again’, which seems a touch too much for the singer’s broken English! This subsequently saw release
on the first LP with Reed singing. These practice sessions also drew out lengthy blues-led instrumentals including John Lee Hooker’s ‘Boom Boom’,
Booker T & the MG’s ‘Green Onions’, and a teaser of the Beatles ‘Day Tripper’ – which seems quite a surprise in retrospect. 3 other songs
presented here are captured from a recording taken very early on in the group’s career at the Film Makers’ Cinematheque in New York.
‘Heroin’ is faithful to the final released version, while Nico steps up to the microphone for Bob Dylan’s ‘I’ll Keep It With Mine’ – a song given
by Dylan to Nico as early as 1964 and eventually released on her debut album ‘Chelsea Girls’. The final cut, ‘European Son’ is a sheer
assault on the senses! The smattering of applause after each song sums up what a strange experience it might have been, seeing the
group perform live in 1966… Two unreleased demos cut at John Cale’s Lower Manhattan home during a very cold winter in New York are
also given an airing here. ‘Sheltered Life’ is another unissued song, whereas ‘Here She Comes Now’ saw release on the VU LP
‘White Light/White Heat’. The recordings display a folkier side to the V and are recorded with just John Cale, Sterling
Morrison and Lou Reed. The last track is taken from The East Village Other - an underground paper based in New
York City who released an LP in August 1966… The album, released on the ESP-Disk label consisted of poetry,
chants and speech and The Velvets contribution featured a short burst of, well, ‘noise’ – as the backdrop to a
conversation with Lyndon Johnson’s daughter Lucy Byrd being interviewed on her wedding day.
