THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, The Velvet Underground (Polydor; 4703867, Europe 2015 Reissue, 180 Gram Vinyl) LP NEW/NEW

LP - NEW/NEW - THE VELVET UNDERGROUND, The Velvet Underground (Polydor; 4703867, Europe 2015 Reissue, 180 Gram Vinyl), , Velvet Underground's self-titled third album seemed like the debut of a new band. John Cale had left (replaced by Doug Yule) and the group became, for all intents and purposes, Lou Reed's back-up band. The songs actually sounded like rock music and John Cale's screeching musicality was reworked into songs that featured Sterling Morrison's most eloquent guitar accompaniment. Reed's songwriting moved beyond the armed-to-disarm approach of the previous two albums towards a spiritual level of empathy with the human race - a change that wouldn't go unnoticed. - 4415413C *** In Stock In Our Crouch End Shop ***
