The exciting release news today easily centers around Loaded, the final proper Velvet Underground album, which was released in 1970. With “Rock ‘n’ Roll”, “Who Loves The Sun”, and “Sweet Jane” on this album, the legend of the band became set.
With the announcement and news frenzy of this upcoming release in full bloom yesterday, there’s little I need to relay. I will say this: The complete definitive nature of this 2015 45th Anniversary of Loaded, with its 5CD/1DVD set of 2015 remasters (both Stereo and Mono mixes), a healthy collection of remastered demos, two live sets (Max’s Kansas City, The Second Fret). 5.1 Surround Sound (DTS and Dolby), downmixes from 5.1 to Stereo, and high-quality 96kHz/24-bit audio Stereo mixes, and other goodies (see track-list below), it’s going to be phenomenal!
The 45th Anniversary Edition Loaded – Reloaded by The Velvet Underground is scheduled for release on October 30. If you don’t want the full 5CD/DVD set, there will be a single CD of Loaded with the new 2015 remaster of the original album available and the four outtakes found on the first CD (see below).
