The Velvet Underground – Sunday’s Clown

Out of stock

$30.00

“Late summer 1966: The Exploding Plastic Inevitable travels up to Provincetown, MA to bring their revolutionary multimedia extravaganza to the Chrysler Art Museum. “It’s Sound, It’s Lights, It’s An Explosion, It’s Super-Pop, It’s Double Groovy” proclaims one of the advertisements.

Until now, the only evidence of these performances has been visual – the famous photo of the Velvet Underground and Nico on the back of the band’s debut LP was taken during the EPI run. But fortunately, a journalist in attendance hit “record” on her tape machine as the VU played. The recently surfaced results give us a blurry but vital snapshot of the Velvets and Nico at a mostly undocumented stage of their development. Double groovy indeed. – Danny Moss, Marshfield News-Herald.
