The Velvet Underground & Nico
The Velvet Underground & Nico is the debut studio album by the American rock band The Velvet Underground in collaboration with the German singer Nico, released in March 1967 through Verve Records. It was recorded in 1966 while the band were featured on Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable tour, and was produced by Warhol and Tom Wilson, with the album featuring a record sleeve that Warhol designed. The album features elements of avant-garde music incorporated into brash, minimal and groove-driven rock music, with frontman Lou Reed delivering explicit lyrics spanning themes of drug abuse, prostitution, sadomasochism and urban life.
