VELVET UNDERGROUND The Velvet Underground (Rare 1969 first issue 10-track STEREO LP, which features the uncensored shot of Lou holding a magazine on the front, a unique 'split-screen' photo on the reverse and Val Valentin engineer credit, front laminated flip-back picture sleeve. After the departure of John Cale this third album marked a real shift in style for the band with several acoustic songs and more direct songwriting throughout, leaving aside The Murder Mystery that is!
