The Velvet Underground is a rock 'n' roll group hailing from New York. They are widely recognized for their association with Andy Warhol's artwork and are often regarded as one of the most significant and influential groups of their time.

Formed in the 1960s, the original members included Lou Reed on vocals, guitar, and piano; John Cale on vocals, electric viola, organ, and bass guitar; Sterling Morrison on vocals, guitar, and bass guitar; and Maureen Tucker on percussion. Although Angus MacLise was the initial drummer, he did not officially record with the band.

In 1996, The Velvet Underground was honored by being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as performers. Their unique sound and artistic contributions continue to resonate with music enthusiasts worldwide.

Reconstruction of The Velvet Underground's Fabled "Lost" 1969 Album, Available On Vinyl for the First Time with Bonus Tracks! To honour The Velvet Underground's 50th anniversary, Grammy-winning producer Bill Levenson has lovingly recreated the band's much-mythologized "lost" album, 1969. Nearly 50 years later, much remains unclear about these mysterious recordings. While there's been reports that the album was intended to be the band's fourth record only to be rejected by MGM, it's also possible they were scrapped by the band or possibly shelved by them for being ahead of its time. Whatever the real story is, these songs, recorded just after their lauded self-titled album, which include many gems like Foggy Notion, Ride Into The Sun and I Can't Stand It, help to tell the band's enigmatic story and shine a light on their creative restlessness and rapid evolution. For this new vinyl recreation, Levenson has assembled the album using 1969 and 2014 mixes. Although these recordings have been previously released, they've never been represented on vinyl in this expansive 2LP format. Side four of the second LP is rounded out with bonus tracks recorded in 1968 including Hey Mr. Rain and Stephanie Says.
