Box of Velvet
On some days, we think the Clash was the coolest band ever.
On others, it’s the Velvet Undergound.
We never, ever feel this way about U2.
For those VU days, there’s a way to get a fix that doesn’t involve annoying Internet radio or apps that want to tell all your Facebook friends what you’re listening to:
A brilliant new boxed set comprised of six essential VU discs, including two versions of The Velvet Underground & Nico, and Nico’s album Chelsea Girls.
Then it starts to get rare and intense:
The Scepter Studios Sessions, cut in 1966, and two discs full of a seminal live performance at the Valleydale Ballroom in Columbus, Ohio.
Plenty of tunes for all tomorrow’s parties…
