This album is brilliant, it’s a revelation and should be listened to in full.
Great song. "Venus In Furs" and " Heroin" are also great ones from this album.
The Velvet Underground rabbit hole is deep, and well worth diving down. They are a band that definitely live up to the legend - utterly brilliant.
"Peel Slow" ... well, the original artwork, created by Andy Warhol (who also created the Velvet Underground) consisted of a banana that you could actually peel, peel off and ... find the surprise. "The Velvet Underground & Nico" sold only 30,000 copies in the first five years, despite its importance in the history of music. Without that record, perhaps, there would have been no punk, new wave and all the alternative rock of the years to come. A quote from Brian Eno is: "The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band." Greetings from Sicily!

Warhol did not create the Velvets. Lou Reed and John Cale formed the band in late 1965, and were joined by Sterling Morrison and Angus MacLise. Andy Warhol, became their manager and mentor in 1966. And although credited as producer on TVU&N he had nothing to do with the production, the album was actually produced by Tom Wilson.
"watch out the world's behind you, there's always someone around you who will call 'it's nothing at all' " ... one of the best lines ever written and the kind of thing that saves people's souls
It is actually Sunday Morning, I'm listening to this nice simple 60's gem and hey, there's Lou Reed!
Fantastic album--up there in my all time favorites.
What a Beautiful song.
Until the echo segment kicked in, it could have been Davey Jones and The Monkees. And I mean that in a fully complementary way.
Hadn't heard this one. I only know a little of Velvet's stuff. This was unexpectedly low-key. Mahalo, Daniel, for reacting to this.
YES! The Velvets are SO influential and iconic! Check out “Venus In Furs”, “I’m Your Mirror”. Ironically, Lou Reed passed on a Sunday morning a few years ago.
“Heroin” it’s my life and it’s my wife. All brilliant songs.
One of the bands that helped launch the NYC music scene that led to the punk and new wave sounds to come later.
YOU CAN HEAR SUNDAY MORNING IN A LOT OF DREAM POP FOR EXAMPLE MAZZY STARR AND HOPE SANDOVAL
Oh yes do the whole album cause it will creep into your soul and stay there. It's an eye opening experience. I have the biggest respect and admiration for these bunch of street kids that got together and recorded this timeless masterpiece. Can't wait till you get to Venus in Furs. And the album after this one White Light/White Heat. With the immortal Sister Ray on it. Great review. J
classic album. loves me some psychedelic rock!
I bought this record some time thirty years ago. It blew me away. It's one of my all time favourites. Just gorgeous.
This is an exceptional album the creative forces of Lou Reed and John Cale were so strong creating this masterpiece, as others have said Venus is Furs is one of the stand out tracks and has such a unique sound and subject matter, and All Tomorrow's Parties is such a great platform for Nico's beautiful robotic, enigmatic, monotone vocals.
Fantastic... Great album. like Doris day sitting with a tea and big joint! You should listen to Laurie Anderson his wife in later year's...My mums fav.. she is a mix of visual dance and music . ''Langue is a virus'' is great and ''Oh Super man''.

Yes, that would be Lou Reed. Lou founded the Velvet Underground in 1964, before he left to pursue his solo career. This song was released in 1967. Lou died of liver disease on Oct. 27, 2013. Rest In Peace Lou Reed. Thanks Daniel.
The first indie band. What a legendary group
Fantastic!!!
I like Oh Sweet Nothin'
Perfect time to play this perfect song. "Perfect Day" would be a perfect follow-up. There is a great video of it, where everyone under the sun is singing a piece of it. Ad for PBS, I think, or BBC. Lou & Cale wrote a haunting song from Warhol's notebooks called "A Dream" which could have been the model for Radiohead's "Pyramid Song". Very meta. Warhol bitches about Lou not inviting him (Warhol) to his wedding, after all he'd done for Lou. Lots to mine here. Perfect.

This album is pure art from the cover to the content
Sublime opening song…so beautiful.
Hey Daniel , off the same album, check out “Venus In Furs.”
DJ Dick Summer was on WBZ AM radio in Boston beginning 11 PM until 7 AM. He was the first, beginning in early December, 1963, to play "The Beatles" "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "I Saw Her Standing There". Delmore Schwartz was a promising poet who died young alone in a New York hotel. From reading his stuff it is evident that he had become addicted to amphetamine.
So excited for your journey with them ☺️ I love this song and they have songs that are a lot better! Just listen to them in order. Excellent band. Also, I love how you instantly liked Lou Reed's vocals. It can be hit or miss when people first hear him sing. I love how he sings.
One of my old time favorites! ❤️
I have a friend who was so taken by this album in his youth that he had that banana image tattooed onto his calf, he rarely wore short pants. This is a beautiful album. Lou was a really good writer.
Brian Eno once said: "The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band."
Top 20 All-Time Most Beautiful Song list, for sure. GORGEOUS melody and wonderful playing. Never fails to hit me in the feels.
When I think of the Velvet Underground's work, I think ragged harrowing desperation. Great stuff for those of us with loose screws.
Such a beautiful dreamy little song. Often listen to it. Timeless.
So soothing...
Venus in Furs would be a good track to try next, for some reason Dunlop Tyres ran an ad campaign based on it and the TV commercial is as bizarre as you might think it would be.
This was the Velvet Underground's first 45 on the Verve label from late 1966. Finding a mint or mint- copy of it is extremely rare and worth a small fortune.
To get Lou Reed at his rocking best, try his ROCK AND ROLL ANIMAL live album, some of the best guitar playing of the 70s. "Intro/Sweet Jane" or "Heroin". Lou also recorded the most depressing concept album of all time called BERLIN. It is about a boy getting hooked on heroin and slowly dying throughout the record. It's a real bummer.

Bowie and he hung out together in Berlin during the making of the Berlin album which may explain the heroin reference and the depressing nature of the album. Bowie was also going through a depressing time in his life

You’re a little confused about Lou Reed, but that’s ok, admirable enthusiasm.
Hurry and play one more song on the LP Then you ll be addicted to VU
Very influential album/band - but only with aconsiderable delay. The album release had been postponed considerably, and on release it was hardly noticed/considered a flop. Velvet Underground were exactly that: an underground band that was pretty much thrashed by critics and neglected by listeners. But later artists listened and picked up a lot from this. Like The Stooges, this was very fundamental for punk and indie rock.
If you end up wanting to know more about The Velvet Underground, I highly recommend last year's documentary by Todd Haynes called, The Velvet Underground. It's a fascinating doc that captures not only the band's history, but a movement during a particular time.
You need to check out the complicated history of this seminal band. This song is not typical kid. You'll get to the classics ROCK AND ROLL, SWEET JANE and HEROIN. Also solo Lou Reed needs to be checked out.
Fortunately, it gets better.
What to say about an album that begins with an angelic Sunday morning ballad and ends with a broken bottle and a toilet flushing? Sunday Morning is the golden banana peel. European Son, the last song on the album is the banana itself (and a shrieking distorted electrical banana at that)
Find this v. evocative of The Thamesmen's "Cups and Cakes" from 1965
Hoping you get round to Venus in Furs by the Velvets.
Wow! I had assumed that you had heard this before. Absolutely loved it. Never a Warhol fan but this album 💜 waiting for more. Yes, Lou Reed. Thank you 🎶

There's a really good documentary about Andy Warhol--the Andy Warhol Diaries on Netflix. You might "get" him a bit more. His schtick was to take things in our culture that had become meaningless because of too much exposure and give them a fresh look. E.g., the Last Supper by DaVinci--Warhol focused on the face of Christ and his hand that was reaching out. It was very moving and a departure from what I'd ever seen. I actually had to go check the original to see if the hand was really there as Warhol portrayed it. It was, but I had never noticed it before. Warhol, at least in this respect, was following in the footsteps of Marcel DuChamp.

I seriously do not "get" Jean Michel Basquiat, Andy's collaborator at times. He is a serious artist, I know. I understand that this is my failing, that his art is over my head. I don't assume that everyone who is spending tens of milions for his work is an idiot. So I appreciate your take on Andy. Completely.

@@raenellefisher8514 " getting" art is simply understanding the techniques and vision of an artist. True art should convey an emotion or speak to the observer in some way. Different pieces say different things to different people, that's kind of the point. Some art is even repellant, but that's a strong emotional response. It's not you, or me, certain pieces speak and some don't, no explanation is required.

@@gabrieleflannery6504 You don't think education and exposure are important tools to understanding the techniques and vision of an artist? The way you phrase it, it sounds like you think it's just a gut instinct about an artist, and an untrained observer is just as likely to "get" a piece of art as a trained one. I sort of can't believe that that's your meaning. What have I got wrong?
To add to an earlier comment, it wasn't just everyone who bought it who went on to form bands. I'd say that almost everyone who heard it formed bands. Seriously, they never hit mainstream album sales but were so influential. As for reverb,, the Velvet Underground pioneered using white noise in their music.
This is a great debut LP. Very influential. You might also like the works of Roxy Music, Eno, Pere Ubu and Tuxedomoon.
Perfect song... Churr
If you are exploring challenging , I strongly recommend The Fall. With 32 studio albums released in their lifetime, one of the most challenging, strange, prolific and creative bands in all of music, covering a lot of different sounds and with frequently fascinating lyrics. Good songs to start with would be "New Face In Hell", "Smile", "English Scheme", "Leave The Capitol", "Prole Art Threat", or "Hip Priest" (used in the climactic scene of the movie The Silence Of The Lambs). Unlike any other band you have heard. (Completely copied from an earlier comment I made :) )
I think you’ll also really enjoy giving a listen to Nico’s albums: try The End or Desertshore. Rather different than what you’ll hear from her on this record.
MOST EXCELLENT go LOU
Wow- you have gotten all the way to the Velvet Underground. With songs like *I'm Just Waiting for the Man* and *Heroin*, the Velvet Underground and Lou Reed had a huge druggie cult following. I smoked a lot of weed listening to this. Never graduated to heroin thankfully.
very difficult LP to find and its original state they are serious collector items... Always wanted to send you one but I just could never find it. please listen to the whole thing.
This album sat on the record company's shelf for almost a year while they pushed Frank Zappa's stuff instead. This was made before The Beatles' "Sgt. Pepper's" album. The VU was Lou Reed's baby, the house band for Andy Warhol's factory. There are more aggressive numbers. 'Femme Fatale' is a favorite of mine, sung by Nico. 'Heroin' is devastating. David Bowie got an early copy of this album and was an immediate fan.

Nope, it wasn't Reed's baby, as the Velvets sound was mainly John Cale's achievement.
Very influyent band.. Yo La Tengo or Sonic Youth know it.
This album is as good as people told me when i first listened. Really innovative and free spirited. There is nothing bad on here for me. Lou Reed has also some good stuff you should check out.

It's a celeste played by John Cale.
Couple of conext: This is the epitome of so called underground scene of rock n roll (in fact the term 'underground' we use to identify a certain scene and aesthetic comes from the name of this band) born in the 70s in new york. All this people gathered around Andy Warhol. That's where The Velvet was created. There you had Bowie adopting that kind of aesthetic and I would say philosophy (and Bowie also discovered Iggy Pop, who also influenced a lot), and of course Lou Reed (the singer of this band). The couple of characteristics and themes of the scene would be urbanity (New York), weirdnes (the voice of Lou Reed is the epitome of that also), promiscuity (the name of the band isn't casual) but also in the urban reality of NY (travestis, drugs, artsy). That's the word, is very artsy, like this album cover. To make it simpler this guys were wearing black leather jackets when hippies were still around and way before punk.

This is for sure an iconic album, but please jump right into Lou Reed after the VU. I love the album New Sensations, 1974 (17 years after this Velvet Underground album), with my favorite song being Fly Into the Sun. I never hear it recommended, nor can I find a live video version (anyone?). (Not to be confused with Ride Into the Sun.) I’m a New Yorker of a certain age and have seen Lou Reed a dozen times. I also recommend listening to the memorial concert with so many great musicians singing his songs. We no longer have with us so many awesome musicians😿; I miss Lou Reed, David Bowie, and Joe Strummer (from The Clash) every day. Jerry Garcia, too. And Phil Ochs, a topical/protest songwriter in the ‘60s and ‘70s who you’ll never react to or even listen to. Though you should, his lyrics are poetry and his music beautiful. He wrote hundreds of songs; there’s a lot of history one can learn listening to him. He committed suicide at age 35. So heartbreaking. I miss him most of all.
Follow the KZread channel and do "I'm Waiting for the Man". It's a great song!!
Album Recommend - John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.
This song is kind of like a musical articulation of a hangover....maybe not a horrible one, just one bad enuf where u don’t want to really do a damn thing, but be super mellow-- either that, or it’s a representation of being high as f on dope on a Sunday morning, and u ain’t got shit to do,,idk....A lot of 60’s albums opened with a rocking song right off the bat to start the album, it was kind of an unwritten rule/trend, they took the opposite tact here (oh, this is the first song on the banana album)

One of the lighter tracks on this album. Especially for one featuring Lou, who usually goes for their darker tracks. Nico's backing vocals are a nice touch. Venus in Furs, Heroine, or Waiting for My Man are quiet a different vibe than this one.
