Notes
A double compilation from the first three VU albums and featuring the infamous lips and Coca Cola bottle artwork by Andy Warhole.
All tracks are stunning, none more so than the sublime ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’ – no one but Nico could have sung this hypnotic song better. A set that includes the softer side of the Underground as well as the loud. The brutal ferocity of ‘Sister Ray’ with the brilliant organ frenzy and viola of John Cale in maximum overdrive – still one of rock’s most uncompromising tracks.
With taboo songs about sex, drugs, dealers, sadomasochism and femme fatales, this band broke so much new ground for subject matter and style, their influence is still felt strongly today, and although their sound was largely basic and low-fi, the power and brutal delivery of their music was simply outstanding.
Of the quiet songs, none better than the tender and haunting ‘Pale Blue Eyes’ from the self-titled third album. The track ‘Heroin’ is the ultimate music trip with nothing held back. “ ’Cause when the smack begins to flow, Then I really don’t care anymore ”, these were controversial times for a jazz label with Lou Reed and Zappa’s Mothers of Invention in the fold.
