The Velvet Underground and Nico has influenced the sound of more bands than any other album.
And remarkably it still sounds as fresh and challenging today as it did upon its release in
1967. In this book Joe Harvard covers everything from Lou Reed's lyrical genius to John Cale's
groundbreaking instrumentation and from the creative input of Andy Warhol to the fine details
of the recording process. With input from co-producer Norman Dolph and Velvets fan Jonathan
Richman Harvard documents the creation of a record which - in the eyes of many - has never
been matched.
