"This comprehensive five-disc retrospective of the Velvet Underground chronicles the band from its earliest demo tapes, recorded in 1965, to Lou Reed's final work with band, in 1970. At their notorious peak, Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison and Moe Tucker epitomised the sound of intellectual art punks being spontaneously creative in Andy Warhol's Manhattan. It's all here: loads of feedback, classic songwriting, and Reed's transformation from Dylan imitator to sonic-rock auteur. With previously unreleased gems, live performances and other oddities, this is everything you wanted to know about the Velvets but were afraid to ask."
