I have one of these. Glossy, 71, Stereo Gatefold. I won it in a bet, which somehow makes it sound even better than it does. The cover is a bit dinged up but the vinyl is in gorgeous shape.
-
This compilation changed my life and my attitude towards music completely when I was 16.
The VU has remained among my top 5 list ever since. -

Edited 3 years agoAnyone have an original of the banana album to compare the quality of this to? I have an awesome copy of this and sounds great, though there is quite a bit of distortion that my remaster does not have. It sounds a lot rawer but really great overall. I would love to know if that rawer more distortion throughout is present in an OP as well. I actually prefer this to the back to black reissue i have, even with the weird jumbled up track list it just adds that edge to this album that I think it needs especially on tracks like heroin.

Edited 9 months agoMy copy has a glossy cover. Can someone confirm that this was normal for the pressing….thanks for the replys....new entry now here on discogs:

Please note, the cover art is not by Andy Warhol, although obviously influenced by his work. -
Edited 3 years agoCandy Says!
This is a great comp in a beautiful gatefold with inner nice art.
I have the Scandinavian first press (Metro Records – 2626 001), and Candy Says ain't Candy Says.
Instead, for some reason, the second song on Side A (listed as Candy Says) is "Been So Nice" by The Righteous Brothers.
I'm not mad, I love Candy Says and all, but this was a nice, weird surprise when i first put this on for a spin. I wish it were some sort of prank, but it's probably a mastering/pressing error? Has anyone else encountered this?

This...is a thing of absolute BEAUTY.
As purely an album of music, it's a gorgeous collection of the Zeitgeist of the Warhol's clique.
But this is so much more than simply a collection of the first two albums, it is (in a style that Factory Records would continue) a piece of art in & of itself.
The images ed really don't do the artwork justice at all. In retrospect, the inner gatefold art (do yourself a favour; the two separate images and them together) is a profound comment upon the nature of advertising, marketing & its co-dependence with the music industry, worthy of a Bill Hicks rant in itself. The glorious, glossy inner sleeve is matched only by the quality and volatility of the tracks on the album itself.
From heroin & amphetamine induced angst & filth, through the entire spectrum of The Velvet Underground experience, all the way to the whimsical ethereal, every shade of beauty is represented in this one release.
A true work of art..
