About This Item
Audiophile pressing on heavyweight 180-gram vinyl in gatefold sleeve. This album features the first professional line up of The Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison and Maureen InchMoeInch Tucker, plus Nico singing on three tracks (InchFemme FataleInch, InchAll Tomorrow's PartiesInch and InchI'll Be Your MirrorInch). Most of the songs were recorded in April 1966 in a run-down recording studio before the band even had a contract. They were turned down by big-name labels such as Columbia, Atlantic Records and Elektra. Since Verve had just decided to include alternative music to their tag, they picked up the group's recordings, put Polish on some of the tunes and added InchSunday MorningInch, which was the prospective single for radio play Album Tracks 1. Sunday Morning 2. I'm Waiting for the Man 3. Femme Fatale 4. Venus in Furs 5. Run Run Run 6. All Tomorrow's Parties 7. Heroin 8. There She Goes Again 9. I'll Be Your Mirror 10.
