ENTER TO WIN A VELVET UNDERGROUND LOADED 45TH ANNIVERSARY 6-DISC BOX!

November 10, 2015 - Contests , The Record Exchange Blog - by The Record Exchange - No Comments

In celebration of the new Velvet Underground Loaded: Re-loaded 45th Anniversary Edition 6-disc box set, we’re giving a box away to one lucky customer along with a VU newsprint-style poster and 7-inch flexi-disc featuring the demo version of “Rock & Roll”!

Jenny’s life was saved by “Rock & Roll” in the classic Velvet Underground song of the same name. A similar fate has befallen many of those who’ve heard Loaded, the 1970 album that included the song. In 1997, the album’s legend grew when Rhino introduced Fully Loaded, a double-CD with unreleased versions of every song on the original, and more.

This fall, one of the greatest albums of all time will return as a six-disc collection that includes:
– The original album remastered in both stereo and mono.
– A generous selection of demos, early versions and alternate mixes from that era.
– A newly remastered/re-edited version of Live At Max’s Kansas City.
– Two high resolution mixes, plus a surround sound mix in DTS and Dolby Digital.
– An unreleased May 1970 concert recorded in Philadelphia.

To enter the drawing, send an email* with the subject “Velvet Underground” HERE by midnight Thursday, Nov. 19. We will draw names at random and notify the winners on Friday, Nov. 20.

* One entry per person, NOT per email address. If you have 16 email addresses and you enter with each address, we’ll just delete 15 of them. We have the technology. To be eligible to win, you must live in the Boise metro area and be able to pick up your prize at the store.
