The Velvet Underground: Singles 1966-69 Vinyl 7×7″ Boxset The Velvet Underground

“Sundazed is proud to release a 7 x 7″ single box set honoring the legendary New York combo’s 7″ vinyl output in their rare mono versions. The set features exact reproductions of Velvet Underground singles, two of them with their original picture sleeves. The singles are packaged in a distinctively designed box, along with rare vintage photos and new liner notes by Rolling Stone’s David Fricke. The seven singles included comprise the four Velvets singles originally released in the U.S. on the Verve and MGM labels, plus an additional pair of singles that were prepared for release but never made it to the marketplace and a special radio-only promotional single. The singles feature alternate mono versions that differ in significant ways from the songs’ better-known stereo album versions. For instance, the band’s 1966 debut single ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’ appears here in a special mono edit that amplifies the song’s melodic beauty and sonic tension, and a mono mix of their sophomore single ‘Sunday Morning’ emphasizes the song’s haunting quality. Meanwhile, the mono single version of ‘White Light/White Heat’ exemplifies the vintage Velvets’ stark, distortion-laden fury, while a mono edit of ‘What Goes On’ accentuates that song’s inherent pop jangle. Box set contains seven (7) 45 rpm 7″ vinyl singles, with exact repros of rare VU picture sleeves and labels, liner notes, rare photos, and more.” – Sundazed Music
