velvet underground (third album)

180g vinyl"

Following the departure of John Cale in 1968, and the addition of Doug Yule on bass, the Velvet Underground released this, their self-titled third LP in 1969. More subdued and lyrically compassionate than the first two records it is nonetheless equally powerful and many consider "The Couch Album" to be the Velvet Underground's finest work.TheVelvet Undergroundcertainly features some of Lou Reed's finest songwriting fromthe narcotic beauty of "Candy Says" and "I'm Set Free,"tothe angular jangle of "What Goes On" and "I'm Beginning To See The Light." In four short years the Velvet Underground made as many stone cold masterpieces, no other band in history could claim such an accomplishment."
