About

The Velvet Underground & Nico is the debut studio album by New York avant-rock band The Velvet Underground, released with German chanteuse Nico on Verve Records in 1967. Produced by Andy Warhol, it is one of the most influential albums ever recorded, laying the groundwork for punk, post-punk, alternative rock, and art rock. Despite its poor initial sales, the album has since been recognised as a foundational text of modern music.
