A number of sources report that the expanded edition of the Velvet Underground’s classic 1970 album Loaded is to be released on vinyl for the first time.
Originally released in October in 2015 as a a six-disc (5CD, 1DVD) package, the Re-Loaded set is now titled Fully Re-Loaded and it will be released as nine vinyl records.
Three discs will feature stereo, mono, and “full-length” mixes of the original album, while six will contain demos, outtakes, and live recordings, some of which have not previously appeared on vinyl.
The set will also include four 7″ vinyl singles, a poster of the album’s cover art, and a booklet containing the Lenny Kaye liner notes that appeared in the 2015 release.
Loaded (Fully Re-Loaded Edition) is limited to 1,970 numbered copies and will be released on March 24. It’s available from Dig in Europe and from Rhino in The US.
