The Velvet Underground & Nico

Few albums in rock history have cast a longer shadow than The Velvet Underground & Nico. Originally released in 1967 and produced by Andy Warhol, this groundbreaking debut fused art, avant-garde experimentation and raw street poetry into a sound that would shape punk, alternative and indie music for decades to come.

Featuring the unmistakable voices of Lou Reed and Nico, the album delivers stark, uncompromising classics including “Sunday Morning,” “I’m Waiting for the Man,” “Femme Fatale,” “Venus in Furs” and “Heroin.” Its blend of droning guitars, minimalist rhythms and fearless lyricism redefined what popular music could express — dark, beautiful, confrontational and deeply influential.

This special Andy Warhol Picture Disc Vinyl LP edition presents the iconic banana artwork directly on the vinyl itself, making it a striking collector’s piece as well as a landmark recording. More than half a century on, The Velvet Underground & Nico remains one of the most important and daring debut albums ever released.

Please note: This picture disc edition is housed in a clear PVC sleeve as supplied by the manufacturer.
