Description
The Velvet Underground’s self-titled third album marked a dramatic shift in tone — trading the abrasive edge of their earlier work for introspective balladry and melodic experimentation. This 45th Anniversary Edition is pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, housed in a standard sleeve with “THE VELVET UNDERGROUND | 45TH ANNIVERSARY” printed on the spine. Some copies include a download voucher for MP3 versions of the album. With tracks like “Candy Says,” “Pale Blue Eyes,” and “I’m Set Free,” the album showcases Lou Reed’s lyrical vulnerability and the band’s evolving sonic palette following the departure of John Cale.
Artist Overview
The Velvet Underground’s third album introduced Doug Yule and a more subdued, contemplative sound. Produced by the band and engineered by Val Valentin, it’s a quiet masterpiece that influenced generations of indie and alternative artists — from R.E.M. and Galaxie 500 to Mazzy Star and Beach House.
