Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
When the Velvets recorded this debut, they were best known as the protégés of Andy Warhol (who designed the sleeve), and as a grating, combustible live band. Fuelled by drummer Moe Tucker's no-nonsense wham and John Cale's howling viola, some of the straight-up rock & roll and arty noise extravaganzas here bear that out. But before Lou Reed was singing about sadomasochism and drug deals and writing lyrics inspired by his favourite poets, he was a pop songwriter and this album has some of his prettiest tunes, mostly sung by Nico, the German dark angel who left the band after this disc. Even the sordid rockers are underscored by graceful pop tricks, like the two-chord flutter at the centre of the classic "Heroin". --Douglas Wolk

Description
The Velvet Underground's debut album, featuring vocals by German chanteuse Nico, is a synthesis of garage rock, R&B, and the avant-garde, combining pop songwriting nous with free jazz dissonance and risque lyrical content. Vilified on its release, it has gone on to influence countless indie and alternative bands. Includes the classics 'I'm Waiting For The Man', 'Venus In Furs', 'All Tomorrow's Parties' and 'Heroin'.
