The Velvet Underground & Nico

~ Release by The Velvet Underground & Nico (see all versions of this release, 38 available)

Annotation

This is a German re-issue and re-master of unknown date that was produced later than September 1994 as it contains mould SID codes. However it is not the same as the already existing German release from 2012 as it contains no mastering SID codes. And the fact I bought it in the late 90s would point to it not being the 2012 release.
