The Velvet Underground & Nico

~ Release group by The Velvet Underground & Nico

Annotation

There are several versions and remasters of this album containing the same titles, but in alternative mixes.
The Verve edition of 1986 is a remastered re-issue with subtly different tracks to the 1967 release.
The 1996 re-release went back to the original mastertapes and artwork, although the banana could sadly not be peeled slowly. ;)
