First Pictures / Velvet Underground exclusive coloured seven-inch vinyl

As previously announced, French retailer FNAC are issuing two exclusive Velvet Undgerground coloured vinyl singles to tie in with a new VU exhibition in Paris.

The singles are Sweet Jane/Rock & Roll and Head Held High/Train Round The Bend – both from the Loaded album, of course – and SDE can give you an exclusive look at the former which comes in bright pink vinyl complete with inner sleeve and period design Atlantic labels (we’re expecting the later to be yellow vinyl).

We’ve given Sweet Jane a spin and are pleased to report that it’s a lovely quiet pressing, and the music sounds as superb – warm and tremendous as you might expect.

Both seven-inch vinyl records appear totally exclusive to FNAC and are available now while stocks last. More photos below – we’ll add the other seven-inch when ours arrives!
