This is for all the serious music fans out there! You can win a copy of the new The Velvet Underground Loaded, Fully Re-Loaded Edition box set worth $250!

Sponsor: Consequence Sound

Prize: Fully Re-Loaded Edition box set of The Velvet Underground’s 1970 classic Loaded. Featuring nearly all the music from the expansive 45th anniversary CD reissue from 2015, this new vinyl collection contains nine LPs and four 7-inches, and it’s limited to just 1,970 copies.

Valued at $250, Loaded (Fully Re-Loaded Edition) includes three versions of the album: stereo, mono, and a “full-length” mix that boasts extended takes of “Sweet Jane,” “Rock & Roll,” and “New Age.” The 7-inches include the first-ever vinyl reissue of “Rock & Roll” and the first “Who Loves the Sun” reissue since ’70. There’s also the French single “Head Held High” and the German single “Sweet Jane.”

Also included are a number of demos (“Satellite of Love,” “Sad Song”), early versions (“Lonesome Cowboy Bill,” “Oh! Sweet Nuthin’”), and alternate mixes (“Train ’round the Bend,” “Cool It Down”). Future Lou Reed solo tracks like “Ocean,” “I Love You,” and “Ride into the Sun” also appear.

Filling out the collection are two live concert recordings. First is a May 9th, 1970 Philadelphia performance featuring the band as a trio — Reed, Sterling Morrison, and Doug Yule. Captured by fan Bob Kachnycz, the recording is presented here on vinyl for the very first time. Then there’s the 1972 live album Live at Max’s Kansas City, recorded on August 23rd, 1970 — the day Reed left The Velvet Underground.

It’s all packaged in a deluxe, foil-wrapped slipcase that also houses a poster of the album’s cover art and an illustrated booklet with liner notes from Lenny Kaye.

Eligibility: The giveaway is open to residents of the United States.
