The Complete Matrix Tapes

by The Velvet Underground

The Complete Matrix Tapes cover art

Culled from legendary multi-track recordings made at a tiny San Francisco club in 1969, 'The Complete Matrix Tapes' captures the Velvet Underground in an incredibly rare, relaxed, and intimately conversational mode. Focusing heavily on the nuanced songwriting of their self-titled third album, the performances feature Lou Reed's sublime vocal deliveries alongside brilliant, extensive guitar jams. It provides unparalleled insight into the band's softer, deeply hypnotic live dynamic.
