What was it about their world, an alternative to the peace-and-love sixties, influenced by literature, drugs, sex, and decadence, which led them to create some of the most influential records ever?In his book, Chris Roberts relates the story with humor and respect for the band that changed music forever. He talks about the individual members and Andy Warhol, who managed them at first.Book available here; https://www.amazon.co.uk/Velvet-Underground-Chris-Roberts/dp/1786751135Connect with me on Instagram; steve.blameAnd thanks to POP; The History Makers insanely wonderful talent booker: #ArchieCMichael#thevelvetunderground #loureedofficial #nicovelvetundergound #thewarholmuseum #andywarhol_archive Hosted on Acast.
