Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground - [Vinyl]

The Velvet Underground�s classic self-titled third album, originally released in March 1969, by MGM, was a departure from the band�s first two albums in more ways than one. Gone was co-founding member John Cale, and in his place was a 21-year-old with Long Island roots named Doug Yule, who stepped right in. The record was also a stylistic leap, as Lou Reed described to Rolling Stone editor David Fricke, �I thought we had to demonstrate the other side of us�. Fricke calls it �a stunning turnaround� 10 tracks of mostly warm, explicit sympathy and optimism, expressed with melodic clarity, set in gleaming double-guitar jangle and near-whispered balladry.� This releases comes as part of the celebrations for the 45th anniversary and follows on from the Super Deluxe CD release in 2014.
