Unbound
1967 · USA
by Velvet Underground
USA: MGM Records, 1967. Unbound. Very Good. Original 7" vinyl 45 RPM promotional record. Pale blue "Special Disc Jockey Record" Verve label. Produced by Tom Wilson. Very good plus with a single scratch on the A side in original green paper sleeve with record company stamps. The third and final single for the Velvet Underground, this version was specifically sent out to radio stations as a promo for their 1968 second album, *White Light/White Heat* and includes the "special disc jockey record" label. *White Light/White Heat* was created after The Velvet Underground had broken their ties with Andy Warhol and after Nico left to pursue a solo career. The album experimented with the aesthetic that was the precursor to punk, with the band pursuing a stark contrast to their earlier work. John Cale said of the record, "while the debut had some moments of fragility and beauty, *White Light/White Heat* was consciously anti-beauty.
