VU

Greatly Appreciated

VU
 
 
VU  is an outtakes compilation album by The Velvet Underground.  It was released in February 1985 by Verve Records.  (More from Wikipedia)
 
 

Perhaps the biggest surprise is that the Velvet Underground often creates beautiful and mellow songs, and one need go no further than the opening track on their first album to find it – the laid-back “Sunday Morning” is every bit as lovely as a song with that name should be, but it is coming from the same band that created harrowing tales like “Heroin” and “Sister Ray”.  A compilation album called VU collected several similarly mellow songs that were intended for the Velvet Underground’s never-released fourth album.
