Are there somehow not enough super deluxe box sets in the pipeline for you? Universal added another to the pile today: a 45th anniversary deluxe edition of The Velvet Underground & Nico.

The iconic, Andy Warhol-produced LP, released to almost no fanfare in 1967 but today recognized as a classic example of art-rock, is no stranger to CD reissues. Two different remasters appeared in stores in 1986 and 1996, and the album (along with various bonus material) appeared in the career-spanning 1995 box set Peel Slowly and See and as part of a 2002 deluxe edition title.

Now, with the album’s 45th anniversary fast approaching, an exhaustive six-disc version is planned. The set will include a fine mix of what we’ve seen on previous deluxe versions as well as entirely unreleased works. Central to collectors is the first official release of the Scepter Studios acetate version of the album. This version of the LP features entirely alternate mixes, and in some case alternate versions, of the album’s most popular cuts, including “All Tomorrow’s Parties,” “Femme Fatale,” “Heroin” and “I’m Waiting for the Man.” The album’s original mono and stereo mixes will be included as well, along with alternate takes, Nico’s Chelsea Girl solo album, early rehearsal versions and a live show recorded in Columbus, Ohio.

The box will be available October 30; hit the jump for a full track list.
