About this album

And So On gathers a set of Velvet Underground rarities, alternate takes and non-album material that highlights the band’s enduring pull on art rock, garage rock and psychedelic rock. Issued in 1982, it draws on the group’s late-1960s period, when Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Maureen Tucker and later Doug Yule were reshaping rock with a stark, experimental edge. Alongside better-known touchstones such as Pale Blue Eyes and Black Angel’s Death Song, the compilation shows how the band’s quieter, more unusual songs helped define the template for generations of alternative musicians. It remains a useful snapshot of their range and influence.
