 | | When the Velvets recorded this debut, they were best known as the protégés of Andy Warhol (who designed the sleeve), and as a grating, combustive live band. |
 | | The Velvet Underground was little known during its lifetime; now, more than thirty years after the band collapsed, it has a world-wide following--but the band's music still tends to divide listeners. |
 | | On the other hand, if you have an ear tuned to the truly cutting-edge (as in Patti Smith, one of several artists who were heavily influenced by the Velvet Underground), you owe it to yourself to give this band, and this recording in particular, a try. |
