It's easy to forget that most of the Velvet Underground stuff was done in the 60's. So radically different
from what was going on at the time. And so influential on what came after.
From the article - I'd love to see this stuff:
Surprises seem to come out of nowhere. A Sony Walkman lightly coated with rust turns out to be a special
edition, presented to Reed by the company, with a custom silver case made by Tiffany. A reissue copy of the
Byrds' 1966 raga-jazz single "Eight Miles High" has a handwritten note inside the picture sleeve: "Thought you
might enjoy a little more Coltrane." It is signed "Jimmy Page" – an early Reed fan who, as a Yardbird in 1968,
was covered the Velvets' "I'm Waiting for the Man" on stage.
