Description

A cornerstone of avant-garde rock and counterculture rebellion, The Velvet Underground & Nico remains one of the most influential albums of all time. Produced by Andy Warhol and featuring the haunting vocals of Nico, this reissue captures the raw energy and experimental spirit of the original 1967 release. Pressed on high-quality vinyl and housed in a replica sleeve with restored banana artwork, the album blends poetic grit with sonic innovation — from the dreamy melancholy of “Sunday Morning” to the visceral intensity of “Heroin.” A must-have for collectors of underground rock and pop art history.

Artist Overview

The Velvet Underground’s debut shattered conventions with its fusion of literary lyricism, minimalist production, and taboo-breaking themes. With Lou Reed’s streetwise narratives, John Cale’s avant-garde textures, and Nico’s icy delivery, the album became a blueprint for punk, indie, and experimental music. Its legacy continues to echo through generations of artists and genres.
