Universal will handle the re-issue, which is due for release on October 1st and will contain the original album, alternate versions, rehearsal recordings and live takes across its six CDs.
‘The Velvet Underground & Nico’ set the hugely influential New York band apart from every other rock outfit in the mid-60s, with its experimental nature, dark subject matter and haunting sound alienating many in the music press at the time.
Despite being a commercial failure upon its release, it is now rightly regarded as one of the great rock albums of all time.
