HMV VINYL WEEK - The Velvet Underground & Nico Translucent Yellow Vinyl Ltd 200
There's a well-worn quote usually attributed to Brian Eno which runs something like this: “The Velvet Underground only sold 30,000 copies of their first record, but every kid who bought one went out and started a band.” Apocryphal or not, it does at least neatly illustrate the outsized influence of The Velvet Underground's storied debut. Pre-empting both Punk and New Wave, but becoming a huge inspiration for both, The Velvet Underground's unique aesthetic was born out of a combination of John Cale's experimental work with pioneers of the Fluxus movement such as La Monte Young and John Cage, Lou Reed's dark, poetic observations of modern life, and the singular artistic vision of Andy Warhol.
Although the album is rightly a common fixture of many record collections these days, hmv Vinyl Week offers a chance to get your hands on an exclusive limited edition – complete with its iconic 'banana skin' cover – pressed onto matching translucent yellow vinyl and limited to just 200 copies.
This will be well packaged and sent via Royal Mail
