My favourite LPs project [see entry for 27th Oct]

No. 2 - Andy Warhol's Velvet Underground featuring Nico - The Velvet Underground released Nov 1970

This is the only compilation in my selection. Not only are the songs uniformly epic, but their placement on this double LP is superb. 

Side 1: I'm waiting For the man, Candy says, 'Run,Run,Run', White light/White heat, All tomorrow's parties

Side 2: Sunday Morning, I heard her call my name, Femme fatale, Heroin, Here she comes now, There she goes again

Side 3: Sister Ray, Venus in furs

Side 4. European son, Pale blue eyes, Black angel's death song, Beginning to see the light

This was one of the LPs I bought when I was in the sixth form in Durham. I was listening to Bowie and Lou Reed and remember swapping records with friends like this, Transformer, Ziggy Stardust and Aladdin Sane.

Because this was my introduction to the Velvet Underground when it came to getting the albums on CD I always found them disappointing, I think because none of them matched the power of this compilation.
