Description by OLDIES.com:

The most comprehensive and compelling embodiment of the Velvet Underground's live brilliance is this bountiful cache of 1969 tapes recorded by Velvets fan and future alt-rock guitar icon Robert Quine. These historic VU performances are now available on vinyl for the first time ever in this lavish Sundazed boxset. This new set contains six LPs packaged in three gatefold jackets with rare photos, poster/handbill inserts, and detailed liner notes by Rolling Stone senior editor David Fricke. In keeping with Sundazed's usual exacting standards, this set has newly been mastered by Bob Irwin from the original source material and is perfectly pressed on high-definition virgin vinyl.
