Velvet Underground, The - Collected

The Velvet Underground Collected celebrates the music of one of rock's most influential and groundbreaking bands.

This essential collection spans the group's journey from New York's underground art scene to the recordings that helped shape alternative, punk, noise and experimental music for generations to come.

Led by visionary songwriter Lou Reed and avant-garde multi-instrumentalist John Cale, The Velvet Underground forged a sound unlike anything heard in the 1960s. Joined by Sterling Morrison and Maureen Tucker, and later championed by Andy Warhol, the band created a body of work that challenged conventions and redefined the possibilities of rock music.

Featuring iconic tracks including I'm Waiting For The Man, Venus In Furs, Heroin, All Tomorrow's Parties and White Light/White Heat, this collection showcases the band's fearless songwriting, raw energy and enduring influence. Though commercial success eluded them during their lifetime, The Velvet Underground are now widely regarded as one of the most important bands in rock history and have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
