Description

For your consideration is a mono issue rock/proto punk offering by The Velvet Underground, released in 1967. Produced by Andy Warhol.
Below is a bio of this group, courtesy of ALLmusic:

Formed: 1964 in New York, NY
Disbanded: 1973

"Few rock groups can claim to have broken so much new territory, and maintain such consistent brilliance on record, as the Velvet Underground during their brief lifespan. It was the group's lot to be ahead of, or at least out of step with, their time. The mid- to late '60s was an era of explosive growth and experimentation in rock, but the Velvets' innovations which blended the energy of rock with the sonic adventurism of the avant-garde, and introduced a new degree of social realism and sexual kinkiness into rock lyrics were too abrasive for the mainstream to handle. During their time, the group experienced little commercial success; though they were hugely appreciated by a cult audience and some critics, the larger public treated them with indifference or, occasionally, scorn. The Velvets' music was too important to languish in obscurity, though; their cult only grew larger and larger in the years following their demise, and continued to mushroom through the years.

Following are the tracks listed for side One:

Sunday Morning
I'm Waiting For The Man

Verve V- 5008 (1967), Mono.

Condition: The record is in very good condition with some very light scuffing. The gatefold cover is in VG+ condition with a small amount of soil. See images. The yellow peel-off banana on the cover is complete and undisturbed. The record comes in its original Verve sleeve which promotes Lalo Schifrin, Astrud Gilberto and other Sixties artists.

I played the record through and there is no doubt that Lou Reed and Cale were well ahead of their time and well deserving of acclaim they and the band received.
