Velvet Underground has announced the release of a new box set, focusing around the band’s third, self-titled album. The six-CD, 65-track playlist includes a wealth of bonus material, with live performances from the era and alternate studio mixes. For any fan of Lou Reed and his off-beat music, this collection looks like a must have. It’s due out on November 24th via Polydor/Universal Music Records.

The box set includes three alternate mixes of the album, including a remastered version by the original MGM engineer Luis Pastor ‘Val’ Valentin. There’s a ten-track collection of tunes recorded during this time period, most of which wound up on Loaded and some of Reed’s solo albums. There’s also a full recording of VU performing live at The Matrix in San Francisco, a popular venue that hosted bands like The Dead, The Doors, and Jefferson Airplane.

Smaller versions of this Velvet Underground re-release also exist, including a single disc Valentin remaster and a two-disc Deluxe Edition with the remaster and the best selections from Live at the Matrix. With a setlist that features classic VU tunes like “Heroin,” “Sweet Jane,” and “Rock & Roll,” this release will be one for the ages.
