The Velvet Underground: VU
Mat Snow, NME, 16 February 1985
"IF YOU PLAY the albums chronologically they cover the growth of us as people from her to there, and in there is a tale for everybody in case they want to know what they can do to survive the scenes... you should be able to relate and not feel alone. I think it's important that people don't feel alone."
