Description

[Machine Translation] Produced by pop art master Andy Warhol, the band debuted in 1967 with Nico on vocals. Avant-garde yet melodic. Freaky yet literary. This is a collection of rare recordings of the legendary band that had a huge impact on the rock world, from before their formation to their debut album with the banana jacket! From a 1966 acetate mix of the Bananas album (Velvet Underground & Nico) miraculously discovered in a New York street vendor in 2002, another mix of "Black Angel's Death Song" with Lou Reed's plaintive voice over John Cale's creaking viola continuo. European Sun," with its looping dark bass passages, is over a minute longer. You can also hear completely different takes of "Venus in Fur" and "I'm Waiting for the Man," as well as a rehearsal at Warhol's factory (studio) and a session of "Day Tripper," a song that debunks Lou Reed's statement before his death that "The Beatles are trash. You can even hear a phrase from "Day Tripper," a song that debunked Lou Reed's statement before his death that the Beatles were trash! Lou Reed and John Cale's surf band, which was formed in the early days of the band, covers the Beach Boys with Lou's vocals. The collection also includes Nico's "Strip-Tease" produced by Serge Gainsbourg in 1962, and Nico's single with Jimmy Page on guitar from 1965, as well as other related material never before released on CD. The Japanese commentary on the situation, episodes, and song titles of the time is included on the inside cover.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

アヴァン 1958-1967 / ヴェルヴェット・アンダーグラウンド

ポップアートの巨匠アンディ・ウォーホールのプロデュースにより、ボーカルにニコを加えて1967年にデビュー。アバンギャルドなのにメロディック。フリーキーなのに文学的。ロック界に多大な影響を与えた伝説のバンドの、結成前から、バナナのジャケットのデビュー作までの貴重音源を網羅した音源集! バナナ・アルバム (ヴェルヴェット・アンダーグラウンド&ニコ)の2002年にニューヨークの露天商で奇跡的に発見された1966年のアセテート・ミックスからは、ジョン・ケイルの軋んだヴィオラの継続音に乗ってルー・リードが朴訥に語る「黒い天使の死の歌」の別ミックス。暗黒のベース・パッセージがループする「ヨーロピアン・サン」は1分以上長いバージョン。更には完全別テイクの「毛皮のヴィーナス」や、「僕は待ち人 (I'm Waiting for the Man)」などが聞け、ウォーホールのファクトリー (スタジオ)でのリハーサルや、ルー・リードの「ビートルズはゴミだ」との生前の発言を覆す、「Day Tripper」のフレーズも聞かれるセッションも! またバンド結成したての時期に、ルー・リードとジョン・ケイルが残したサーフィンバンドでのルーのボーカルによるビーチボーイズのカバー。そして1962年にセルジュ・ゲーンズブール制作によるニコの「Strip-Tease」、さらには1965年にジミー・ペイジがギター参加したニコの幻のシングルまで、メンバーの未CD化の関連音源も収録。当時の状況、エピソード、曲目などの日本語解説文を内ジャケに掲載。Eternal Groovesの"ROCK OFF"シリーズから登場!
