V/A - The Velvet Underground (A Documentary Film By Todd Haynes) Soundtrack

Pretty wild collection, including The Primitives' great / terrible "The Ostrich" (a dance craze that still has not caught on...) and really the only way to cheaply get any LaMonte Young recording on vinyl. Even CDs of his stuff are pricey!



This movie sounded incredible- hopefully they have spend the same attention to remastering these songs for this vinyl edition.



"This soundtrack was curated by the documentary's director Todd Haynes, and music supervisor Randall Poster. It features well-known and rare tracks from The Velvet Underground, as well as songs and performances that influenced the band including the doo-wop of the Diablos, the groundbreaking rock n' roll of Bo Diddley, and the avant-garde compositions of La Monte Young. Also included is a booklet with exclusive liner notes by Todd Haynes."
