Popis - SINGLES 1966-69 (7X7 SET) [VINYL]:
The Velvet Underground Singles 1966-69, is a seven-disc box set honoring the legendary New York combos 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 Stones David Fricke (who also penned the acclaimed notes for the historic 1995 Velvets CD box set Peel Slowly and See). Although they never came close to scoring a hit, the Velvet Underground was ideally suited to the 7" single format. "The Velvet Underground were a great singles band," David Fricke notes, adding that the Velvets "invented modern rock with searing guitar distortion, throbbing improvisation and brutally realistic tales of life on the wild side. But they did it all in these classic pop songs-compact miracles of raw drive, intimate beauty and Top 40 ecstasy, heard again in the original, thrilling mono single mixes." The seven singles included in The Velvet Underground Singles 1966-69 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 bands 1966 debut single "All Tomorrows Parties" appears here in a special mono edit that amplifies the songs melodic beauty and sonic tension, and a mono mix of their sophomore single "Sunday Morning" emphasizes the songs 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 songs inherent pop jangle. The Velvet Underground Singles 1966-69 also includes two unissued singles, one with a never-released pairing of "White Light/White Heat" backed by "I Heard Her Call My Name," and the other with "Temptation Inside Your Heart" and "Stephanie Says," recorded in the waning days of the bands classic Reed/Cale/Morrison/Tucker lineup and unheard by the public for nearly two decades thereafter. The sets seventh single is a reproduction of a vintage promotional disc, a two-and-a-half minute radio spot promoting the bands eponymous third album and featuring legendary disc jockey Bill "Rosko" Mercer, with excerpts from "Im Set Free," "What Goes On" and "Beginning to See the Light," as well as a picture sleeve with an un-airbrushed variation on the albums iconic cover art. By presenting the Velvets as a singles band, The Velvet Underground Singles 1966-69 shows, in David Frickes words, "rock history the way it should have been: the Velvet Underground as the New York Beatles, guaranteed to blow up your radio and your mind."
