Release Date: 1969
Label: MGM
Having exhausted their list of album titles on their first two releases, The Velvet Underground were forced to release this third offering as a self-titled LP. John Cale left after the release of White Light/White Heat to pursue a career in Ergonomics and pigeon rearing. As far as this album is concerned it sits comfortably between 'Nico' and 'White Light' as the second best Velvets album. The songs are less discordant or chaotic and the record features some songs that are better than the ones on their acclaimed debut, in particular 'Candy Says' and 'Beginning to See The Light'
Rating: 8/10
Favourite Track: Beginning To See The Light
