Beschrijving

An amazing comprehensive career retrospective from one of the most ;underrated and innovative bands ever to emerge from the 1960’s.

The velvet underground’s legacy is now a revelation of how minimalism can be the vehicle for great compositions, art, life experiences and decadence all at the same time reflecting what america still is underneath it’s skin.


Lou reed compose a lot of great tunes, melodic, fragile, and strong all at once like a shade in summer. “Peel slowly and see” (1995, polydor/chronicles) is a 5 cd box set including all first 4 velvet’s studio albums remastered up to that time. Cd 1 is a collection of 6 early 1966 demos recorded at john cale’s living room. Cd 2 is the entire “the velvet underground; nico” (1967) album plus 2 nico tunes and an unreleased song.


Cd 3 is “white light/white heat” (1968) album plus 7 unreleased songs and 2 songs from 1985’s “vu” and one from 1986 “another view”. Cd 4 is “the velvet underground” (1969) album in its ‘closet mix’ version plus 5 songs from “vu” and 2 unreleased. Cd 5 is the “loaded” (1970) album plus 5 unreleased songs, and 2 live songs.


Personally, this box set is necessary for real vu fans, but it has three missing details like all song’s lyrics, the separate cds didn’t include the original album artwork just a little picture of the covers on the back tray of each cd. It didn’t include the entire 1984 “vu” and 1986 “another view” unreleased songs compilations properly remastered this last point it’s the most disappointing aspect for me but the box set it’s 99% perfect in my opinion. The box cover is based on the original andy warhol “banana” album cover with a pealable banana sticker.


The box contains an 88-page booklet with a very extensive essay by journalist david fricke with lots and lots of memorabilia and photos provided by sterling morrison himself. Also includes many conversations with lou reed, sterling morrison, john cale and maureen tucker. A very very good collectable box set. Peel slowly and see it’s alright!...
