VELVET UNDERGROUND BOXED SET
A five CD VU boxed set has been compiled by Polydor with input from Lou Reed, John Cale, Maureen Tucker and Sterling Morrison. The 75 track collection includes a CD (79mins) of demos recorded at Cale’s flat in July 1965 including multiple takes on ‘Venus In Furs’, ‘Heroin’, ‘l’m Waiting For The Man’, and ‘Tomorrow’s Parties’, and two tracks not recorded by the Velvets — ‘Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams’ and ‘Prominent Men’. There are also live tracks that have appeared previously on bootlegs, and seven Loaded outtakes that later appeared on Lou Reed solo albums. The core of the boxed set is the complete contents of the band’s four studio albums. There will be an 88 page book, and the banana on the box cover will literally peel courtesy of modern adhesive technology, as originally designed to, by Andy Warhol, for the Velvet Underground’s debut album.
