<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>With its notorious pedigree, the story of Velvet Underground has become shrouded in myth and hyperbole. Gathered ffor the first time, these musing by such writers as Lester Bangs, Robert Greenfield, Patti Smith, and Lou Reed himself provide an invaluable snapshot of an era.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Velvet Underground, among the most influential bands of all time, are credited with creating a streetwise, pre-punk sensibility that has become inseparable from the popular image of downtown New York. Discovered by Andy Warhol in 1966, the VU - with their original line-up of Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, and Mo Tucker - would soon become the house band of the avantgarde, composing songs simultaneously furious in their abrasiveness and beautiful in their pathos, standing in striking contrast to the prevailing flower power of the era. <i>All Yesterdays' Parties</i> gathers for the first time almost all of the published writings contemporary with the band's existence-from sources as mainstream as the <i>New York Times</i> to vanished voices of the counterculture like <i>Oz, Fusion</i>, and <i>Crawdaddy! </i> The book is a revealing snapshot of an era by trailblazing rock writers such as Lester Bangs, Robert Greenfield, and Paul Williams. With photographs, posters, and other visual evocations of the period throughout, <i>All Yesterdays' Parties</i> is an invaluable resource, a trove of lore for anyone interested in the VU, their roots, and legacy.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Clinton Heylin</b> was described by <i>Rolling Stone</i> in February 2016 as perhaps the world's authority on all things Dylan. Aside from his definitive biography, <i>Dylan Behind The Shades</i>, which remains in print more than twenty years after publication having twice been revised, he also has published two bulky volumes detailing the histories of all 610 original Dylan songs, <i>Revolution In The Air</i> and <i>Still On The Road</i>. His previous works on Dylan include <i>Stolen Moments: Dylan Day By Day</i> and <i>The Recording Sessions 1960-1994</i>.
