SynopsisThe Velvet Underground is arguably one of the most influential American rock bands ever. Based on interviews with former members Lou Reed, John Cale, and Sterling Morrison, as well as others from Andy Warhol's circle of artistic collaborators, Up-Tight is the definitive oral and visual history of the band and its revolutionary, often avant-garde music. Bockris and Malanga's intelligent and entertaining approach-which does not shy away from the drugs, sleaze, and controversy that enveloped the band seemingly from its inception-provides compulsive reading., The Velvet Underground is arguably one of the most influential American rock bands ever. Based on interviews with former members Lou Reed, John Cale, and Sterling Morrison, as well as others from Andy Warhol's circle of artistic collaborators, Up-Tight is the definitive oral and visual history of the band and its revolutionary, often avant-garde music.

A poor 2003 edition of a great book on a great band
While I commend the authors for their fine work in the research and writing of this book, as it is a great read on the Velvet Underground, I cannot recommend this 2003 Cooper Square Press edition of the book. The reproduction of the photos in the book is atrocious - like it was done on a Xerox copier circa 1985 - which is a real shame as the photos are a huge part of the appeal of the book. The Velvet Underground deserve better. Leave this cheap copy alone and try to seek out the original 1983 edition.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
