5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent !!
New book by Jim DeRogatis. just arrived from amazon pre-order today. Wow! It is beautiful. It is large like a coffee table book, with a cool 1/3 velvet strip that works like a velvet dust jacket but covers middle 3rd of book. Just did a quick page thru and not too many new photos but most are the best quality I have ever seen. Crisp clear photos that have previously been...

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not primary but enjoyable
Obviously, this book was made because there would be an audience for it. There's nothing really new in the book -- all the writing comes from other books (there's even a chapter from Andy Warhol's Popism book), and there may be a couple photos that I haven't seen too much, but the only essential thing here that isn't in any other VU book is a chronological listing of...

This review is from: The Velvet Underground: An Illustrated History of a Walk on the Wild Side (Hardcover)
Obviously, this book was made because there would be an audience for it. There's nothing really new in the book -- all the writing comes from other books (there's even a chapter from Andy Warhol's Popism book), and there may be a couple photos that I haven't seen too much, but the only essential thing here that isn't in any other VU book is a chronological listing of performances from 1965-1971. Still, didn't pay much for it -- right now you can get a used copy for 53 cents! (plus $3.99 shipping) And it looks pretty good on my bookshelf.

This review is from: The Velvet Underground: An Illustrated History of a Walk on the Wild Side (Hardcover)
New book by Jim DeRogatis. just arrived from amazon pre-order today. Wow! It is beautiful. It is large like a coffee table book, with a cool 1/3 velvet strip that works like a velvet dust jacket but covers middle 3rd of book. Just did a quick page thru and not too many new photos but most are the best quality I have ever seen. Crisp clear photos that have previously been smaller and nowhere as crisp. There is a nice section on Live performances & rehearsals courtesy of our friend Oliver, a couple posters that I have never seen including a slightly different poster like the VU/Musselwhite poster for a show with the VU/Airplane/Beefheart at the Avalon. Albums, reviews and a few new treasures, to me a very neat copy of Lou's compositional manuscripts for Heroin and Venus. There is even a goofy sketch of the EPI at the Dom credited to Ingrid Superstar. It is a very nice luxurious book with many goodies: over all another brilliant new tribute to the only band that ever mattered!
