Lou Reed and John Cale, who apparently can’t wait five years to do this thing right, have curated a 45th anniversary compilation based on The Velvet Underground 1968 LP ‘White Light/White Heat’.

The three-disc set features remastered mono/stereo editions of the original long player, and sundry extras like an alternate take of ‘Hey Mr Rain’, rare versions of ‘The Gift’, new mixes of ‘Beginning To See The Light’ and ‘Guess I’m Falling In Love’, and an unheard-till-now recording of a 1967 TVU show at the NYC Gymnasium.

Universal Music will release the package as a gloomy Christmas gift on 2 Dec.
