Gone was co-founding member John Cale, and in his place was a 21-year-old with Long Island roots named Doug Yule, who stepped right in. The record was also a stylistic leap, as Lou Reed describes it in Rolling Stone editor David Fricke's liner notes, \"I thought we had to demonstrate the other side of us. Fricke calls it \"a stunning turnaround... 10 tracks of mostly warm, explicit sympathy and optimism, expressed with melodic clarity, set in gleaming double-guitar jangle and near-whispered balladry. Or as the late rock critic Lester Bangs put it, \"How do you define a group like this, who moved from 'Heroin' to ‘Jesus' in two short years?\" How indeed do you describe an album which includes such classics as \"Candy Says,\" Reed's ode to Warhol superstar Candy Darling; the aching love song \"Pale Blue Eyes,\" allegedly inspired by a girlfriend at Syracuse University who got away, with lead vocals by Yule; the inspiring \"Beginning to See The Light\"; the spoken-word narrative and musique concrete of \"The Murder Mystery,\" and the beautiful Maureen Tucker-sung \"After Hours\"?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eVinyl Colour\/Design may slightly vary from the images shown on the website\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff6600;\"\u003eRELEASE DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e[180g], [Reissue], [Anniversary]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReleased:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff6600;\"\u003eTRACKLISTING\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table add-info description\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCandy Says\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4:04\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhat Goes On\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4:54\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSome Kinda Love\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4:03\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePale Blue Eyes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5:39\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJesus\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3:23\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeginning To See The Light\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4:40\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI'm Set Free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4:04\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThat's The Story Of My Life\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2:03\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe Murder Mystery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8:54\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eB5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAfter Hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2:07\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Rock-Pop-Alt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42041687179382,"sku":"4703867","price":54.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/3009\/6246\/files\/4703867.jpg?v=1742530555","url":"https:\/\/rockaway.com.au\/products\/velvet-underground-velvet-underground-45th-anniversary-vinyl","provider":"Rockaway Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
