The Velvet Underground [VINYL]

Product Information

Chelsea Girl" [cat# LP 5415, B0016246-01 LP05], mono. Originally issued as Verve Records V-5032, October 1967. For the cost that this box set is going for currently I have to say it's not totally worth getting unless you're one who HAS to have it regardless. It is a great collector's item, I will give it that, and when I first learned of its release I didn't hesitate to buy it, though I feel it may've been a bit of a waste, considering I have essentially all of the material already, but the extra 'radio spot's record is a great bonus, and the mono mixes, which I don't have on CD, are exciting, getting to hear some of my all-time favorites in a new light. And let's face it, vinyl records are SOOO much cooler to have than CD's, there's just something about the appeal of a record that CD's will never have, and don't get me started on people who buy only mp3's... The Velvet Underground" [cat#: LP 5414, B0016246-01 LP03], mono. Originally issued as MGM Records SE-4617. April 1969.

That is essentially my biggest dissappointment. Includes the rare mono versions of the VU’s first three albums, the superior mono version of Nico’s Chelsea Girl (featuring Reed, Cale & Morrison) and a definitive edition of the band’s unfinished fourth album!

The second lp is half fold down stereo and the others are stereo fold downs through the entire albums. I'm also totally fine with the fact that this collection completely neglects the singles from Loaded (which makes sense since that's on a different record company); I don't care what anyone says, Loaded is 80% mainstream wannabe garbage, and the rest isn't that much better in my opinion. cat#: LP 5415, B0016246-01 LP04], stereo. Recorded at Record Plant Studios, NYC. Mixed by Michael Barbiero at Mediasound, NYC and J.C. Convertino at Sigma Sound Studios, NYC.White Light/White Heat" [cat#: LP 5413, B0016246-01 LP02], mono. Originally issued as Verve Records V-5046, January 30, 1968. But this set does obviously have a great many perks, including, as I've said before, the one record that has the radio spots, the two aborted singles, the booklet and the neat little postcard, which came as a delightful surprise, because it can now join my collection of musician postcards.
