Following three highly stylized Andy Warhol-influenced releases on the Verve label,\u00a0The Velvet Underground<\/strong>\u00a0signed with Ahmet Ertegun’s Atlantic subsidiary Cotillion Records for their fourth and official final full-length,\u00a0Loaded<\/em><\/strong>, a tongue-in-cheek title not about drugs but the label’s request that the band produce a record “loaded with hits.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Released shortly after founder and frontman Lou Reed left the band, the hooky\u00a0Loaded<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0found the\u00a0Velvet Underground<\/strong>\u00a0headed in a more commercial direction yet still maintaining all of their cutting-edge trademarks and it stands as one of the warmest and most accessible efforts of their all-too-brief career. Includes the VU anthems “Sweet Jane” and “Rock and Roll” plus additional standout fare like \u201cWho Loves the Sun,\u201d \u201cCool It Down\u201d and \u201cOh! Sweet Nuthin\u2019\u201d.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Lou Reed quit the Velvets just before their fourth album was finished. But he left behind two perfect hits (“Sweet Jane,” “Rock & Roll”) and a record that highlights the doo-wop roots and Sun Records crackle buried in VU’s noir-guitar maelstrom.” – #110 on Rolling Stone’s ‘500 Greatest Albums of All Time’<\/div>\n
