Deal alert / Velvet Underground 6-disc super deluxe box set

Out next monday, the six-disc Velvet Underground super deluxe edition box set has dropped to a price on Amazon UK that requires a will of steel to not pull the trigger and place an order.

The box set which doubles the number of discs offered in last year’s White Light/White Heat box contains two different stereo mixes of the album (including Lou Reed’s Closet Mix), a promo mono mix, loads of unreleased session tracks and a wealth of live tracks many of which have never been issued. This comes as a stylish case-bound book and can be pre-ordered at the time of writing for a barely credible £35!
