{"product_id":"velvet-underground","title":"VELVET UNDERGROUND","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Velvet Underground is the third studio album by the American rock band the Velvet Underground. Released in March 1969 by MGM Records, it was their first record with multi-instrumentalist Doug Yule, who replaced previous member John Cale. Recorded in 1968 at TTG Studios in Los Angeles, California, the album's sound—consisting largely of ballads and straightforward rock songs—marked a notable shift in style from the band's previous recordings. Lead vocalist Lou Reed intentionally did this as a result of their abrasive previous studio album White Light\/White Heat (1968).[2] Reed wanted other band members to sing on the album; Yule contributed lead vocals to the opening track \"Candy Says\" and the closing track \"After Hours\" is sung by drummer Maureen Tucker.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Velvet Underground","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":58733845741916,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7153\/1100\/files\/VU.jpg?v=1787228379","url":"https:\/\/rokerrecords.co.uk\/products\/velvet-underground","provider":"Roker Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
