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.

Back In Stock

Mercurial without being alienating, enigmatic without being esoteric, syncretic without sounding disparate, jaded but with a fantastic sense of humour and absurdity...This is what happens when a band is so confident in it's own talent that it knows it doesn't have to convince anyone else...and just has fun.Soft, sad, and subdued as this album is, there is an inherent sense of affirmation (of what is a subjective choice) that threads it's way through the emotional labyrinth of this album. From the wistful "Candy Says" to the chilling, hymn-like "I'm Set Free" to the mordant (yet strangely unpretentious) wit of "The Murder Mystery" to the surprisingly vulnerable intimacy of "After Hours," this Lou Reed and his Velvets at their melodic best. No, it's not perfect, but it's flawed in the best kind of way...its been a steadfast fixture in my admittedly ever-changing music collection. It has a subtly hermetic atmosphere...just let it envelope you.
