Even more crucially, at the insistence of Verve producer Tom Wilson, one more song was recorded for the LP about half a year later, in late 1966, in the hopes of coming up with a commercial track for Nico to sing. More importantly, the VU were able to add “There She Goes Again” to the Verve release. For one thing, maybe Columbia wouldn’t have used Warhol’s design. Yet Columbia’s rejection ultimately did quite possibly make the album better. Verve never promoted the VU too effectively either, though it remains unknown whether Columbia or indeed any company could have promoted such an unusual and daringly experimental band with much success at the time. Although they quickly signed with MGM subsidiary Verve, that label didn’t put out their debut album for almost a year, by which time some crucial momentum was lost. You’re out of your mind with this.” In the short term, their failure to get a deal with Columbia definitely hurt. Norman Dolph, who helped finance the Scepter sessions, remembers Columbia reacting more or less as follows: “There’s no way in the world any sane person would buy or want to listen or put anything behind this record.
Indeed, I’m not convinced the VU didn’t do that at Scepter, the song somehow not making it onto the legendary nine-song acetate (including versions and mixes that were different from the ones used on Verve’s Velvet Underground & Nico, and now officially available) made from those sessions. Presumably Columbia would have added “There She Goes Again,” a song the Velvets were already doing onstage in late 1965. This is iconic, not just another above-average-for-the-time LP cover, in the manner of what Columbia was putting out on the Byrds and Simon & Garfunkel.Īlso note that the fake LP has just nine songs, which would have made for rather short running time, even by 1966 standards. That’s not bad, and of course some of the same imagery from their Exploding Plastic Inevitable multimedia stage shows would show up on the back cover of their actual debut LP, released in early 1967:īut wouldn’t you agree that the cover of The Velvet Underground and Nico, as released on Verve Records, was much better? For one thing, it was designed by Andy Warhol: Had Columbia signed the VU and issued those nine tracks as an album, the LP sleeve might have looked like this:
At least, that seems to have been the thinking-Columbia might have asked them to add some material and re-record some tracks, as they did when Verve Records signed them. Back in April 1966, the Velvet Underground and Nico had recorded at least nine songs at Scepter Studios in New York, hoping to place the result as an album with Columbia Records.
