How much do you like ‘Loaded’ by the Velvet Underground? Well, if the answer is ‘FUCKING HELL, I LOVE IT SO MUCH!’ and you have a bucket filled with money, you’re in for a treat!

A limited edition vinyl reissue is coming out and has a load of unreleased stuff, words, photos and all that great nerdy stuff.

To search for it properly online, it’s called ‘Loaded (Fully Re-loaded Edition)’ and most of it will be on vinyl for the first time. The full tracklisting is at the bottom of this article if you want to skip directly to that.

First, you should know it’ll cost you £250. Want to pre-order? Then click here but if you want to see it down the record shops first, it’ll be out March 24th. There’s only 1,970 copies so don’t be complaining at your local indie if they didn’t manage to bagsy one.

All-in-all, it’s nine LPs, four 45s, a poster, words from Lenny Kaye, touched-up artwork, booklets, demos, alternative versions, live versions, Lou solo bits, European sleeve art, mono mixes, stereo mixes, and the full length versions of ‘Sweet Jane’, ‘Rock & Roll’ and ‘New Age’.
