Lou Reed, John Cale & Nico at Le Bataclan, Paris, 1972

"The Velvet Underground & Nico" at 50.

It is 50 years since The Velvet Underground & Nico album was recorded. A major new exhibition in Paris tells the story of the group which created it and of the New York scene which produced them. Parisians hold the Velvets in particular esteem and, as ALLAN CAMPBELL notes, the city itself has often been the scene of key moments in the Velvets’ history, not least a legendary appearance at Le Bataclan.
