The Velvet Underground – 45th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition
Polydor/UMe

More details about Polydor/Universal Music Enterprise (UMe)'s release of
The Velvet Underground – 45th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition below. I have a digital copy for review, so hopefully, it will be done soon-ish. Just quickly looking over the tracks, many of these tracks already exists in one form or another on their previously two albums, so a lot of familiar songs.
The 65-track, 6-CD package is housed in a case-bound book and features several different mixes including the remastered stereo mix by MGM house engineer Luis Pastor “Val” Valentin, a set of 1969 recordings, many of which were previously unreleased, from the Record Plant in New York City that were supposed to be the band’s fourth album, several of which ended up on Loaded and Reed’s first two solo releases, and unreleased live recordings from The Matrix in 1969.
The remastered Valentin stereo mix of The Velvet Underground will also be made available as both a single-disc CD, and as part of the two-CD Deluxe Edition version with a 12-track audio bonus disc featuring the best of Live At The Matrix, taped on November 26 & 27, 1969. Digital versions of both the single disc “Valentin mix” and the six-CD, Super Deluxe Edition will also be available through other digital partners including MFiT and HD Audio formats.
