Ultra rare 45 from Newcastles premier head band "Velvet Underground"...promo bullet eon label...looks unplayed..NM. Excellent versions of the Jefferson Airplanes Somebody to love and Arthur Lee & Loves...She comes in colours.
The original Velvet Underground formed in Newcastle (NSW) during 1967. The band claimed complete ignorance of any American usage of their moniker, having lifted it (like Lou Reed, John Cale and company) from the book of the same name which was essential `head' reading in 1967. The original line-up comprised Steve Phillipson (vocals), Russell Bayne (guitar), David Schofield (organ), Mark Priest (bass) and Herman Kovacs (drums). Bayne, Priest and Schofield all left in 1969 to be replaced by Les Hall (guitar), Steve Crothers (bass) and Tony Heads (Hammond organ). As Newcastle's premier rock act of the day, The Velvet Underground offered quality versions of material by Love, Jefferson Airplane and The Doors. Phillipson was also a pioneer in the use of `lighter fluid theatrics' (combustible fluid applied to the sleeves of his leather jacket and set alight).
The band issued one single on Festival, a cover of Jefferson Airplane's `Somebody to Love'/`She Comes in Colours' (January 1970). By 1971, the band had relocated to Sydney. Heads and Crothers left, later forming Hiawatha, which was one of the first organ-driven rock bands in Australia (à la The Nice and Emerson Lake and Palmer) with Peter Shean (drums). The final Velvet Underground line-up of Kovacs, Hall, Andy Imla (vocals; ex-Elmtree), Malcolm Young (rhythm guitar) and Michael Szewczyk (bass) earned a moderate living as an in-demand suburban dance band. It was during the latter half of 1972 that Ted Mulry began to use The Velvet Underground as his regular backing outfit. By that stage, Young had left to lay plans for his next band, AC/DC.
