Title: Another great book of the series
Review: Fascinating tome by Joe Harvard (of Fort Apache/Pixies fame) about the making behind not only the Velvet's, but also their first LP. Lovingly researched, Harvard attempts to find the fact buried beneath years of myth as we go from the early founding of the band through Warhol/Morrissey's management. Unlike other books in the 33 1/3 series, little is said about the production of the album itself, save for the question of whether or not the songs were recorded completely live or not. Harvard's prose shows the love he has for his subject, and makes learning about this seminal album a treat.
