Taken from Ice Magazine:
One of the most significant rock debuts and seminal experimental albums ever, "The Velvet Underground & Nico" is re-serviced June 25 on Polydor. This digitally remastered Deluxe Edition encompasses the album stereo version on Disc One, along with five selections from "Nico -- Chelsea Girl" (on which the Velvets reunited and performed with the chanteuse). Disc Two features the album mono version -- available in the U.S. for the first time -- and four mono A- and B-sides: "All Tomorrow's Parties," "I'll Be Your Mirror" (with alternate ending), "Sunday Morning" and "Femme Fatale."
Originally scheduled to appear on the set was the previously unreleased 1966 rehearsal song "Miss Joanie Lee," touted as the group's first known recording. Universal Senior VP of A&R Bill Levenson tells ICE, "We've got a situation that hasn't resolved itself, and we'd either have to hold onto the package until it's cleared -- which we don't know will ever happen -- or move forward with what we think is a very good package, but minus that track." Featured on the cover of the special digipak version is the Velvets' trademark peelable banana designed by benefactor Andy Warhol.
