Publisher's note

The Velvet Underground is an astonishing assembly of rare objects and artworks and the first book of its scale to document the formative years of the band Time Out magazine named the greatest New York musicians of all time. From never-before-seen photographs of the band's first live show in New York to Andy Warhol's cover and poster designs, Lou Reed's handwritten music and lyrics, underground press clippings and controversial reviews, flyers, handbills, and posters, the materials here comprise a uniquely comprehensive survey of the first rock group ever to transcend the genre and embrace underground popular culture. Including a conversation recorded especially for the book between founding members Lou Reed and John Cale, and contributions from drummer Maureen Tucker, this beautifully illustrated book is the first to present a definitive picture of the band's genesis and development in the extraordinary New York scene of the mid- to late-1960s.

Annotation

This eclectic collection of memorabilia and first-hand anecdotal writings documents the early days of the ground-breaking band the Velvet Underground. Along with Andy Warhol's designs for posters and album covers, rare photos (like ones documenting the band's first show), glowing and scathing press, and hand-written lyrics--this book includes a transcription of a conversation between Lou Reed and John Cale conducted especially for this publication. The band's drummer, Maureen Tucker also weighs in. This is a wonderful collectible for fans.
