Velvet Underground & NicoOriginal 1st Press US LP released in 1967 on the Deep Groove Large T Blue & Silver Verve Label. Cat: V65008. This album has a gatefold sleeve. Banana has been peeled of this copy and there is still a faint smell of banana.
One would be hard-pressed to name a rock album whose influence has been as broad and pervasive as The Velvet Underground & Nico. While it reportedly took over a decade for the album's sales to crack six figures, glam, punk, new wave, goth, noise, and nearly every other left-of-center rock movement owes an audible debt to this set. While The Velvet Underground had as distinctive a sound as any band, what's most surprising about this album is its diversity. Here, the Velvets dipped their toes into dreamy pop ("Sunday Morning"), tough garage rock ("Waiting for the Man"), stripped-down R&B ("There She Goes Again"), and understated love songs ("I'll Be Your Mirror") when they weren't busy creating sounds without pop precedent. Lou Reed's lyrical exploration of drugs and kinky sex (then risky stuff in film and literature, let alone "teen music") always received the most press attention, but the music Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Maureen Tucker played was as radical as the words they accompanied.
Tracks: Sunday morning/ I’m waiting for the man/ Femme fatale/ Venus in furs/ Run run run/ All tomorrow’s parties/ Heroin/ There she goes again/ I’ll be your mirror/ The black angel’s death song/ European son.
