Velvet Underground & Nico tribute to feature Thee Oh Sees, Ty Segall, White Fence
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 21 September 2012
Artists and associates of California-based label Castle Face Records have all recorded versions of tracks from ‘The Velvet Underground & Nico’ for a new covers LP. It’ll (kind of) coincide with a 45th anniversary reissue of Lou, Nico and co’s original long player, out on 29 Oct.
Ty Segall, White Fence, The Fresh & Onlys, Kelly Stoltz and Thee Oh Sees – whose principal songwriter John Dwyer also co-owns Castle Face – all feature on the compilation, which will have a limited (1000 copies) ‘banana yellow’ vinyl release on 6 Nov, complete with original sleeve art by David Shrigley. Alternatively, all tracks will be available digitally as of 15 Oct.
