Released in 1969, the album marked a significant shift towards a more melodic and introspective sound while retaining the group's distinctive experimental edge. Featuring standout tracks including \"Candy Says\", \"Pale Blue Eyes\", \"Beginning To See The Light\" and \"What Goes On\", the album is regarded as one of the most influential alternative rock recordings ever made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressing Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis UK Polydor Special Series issue is commonly known among collectors as the \"Safety Film\" edition, named after the distinctive film-canister style artwork used for the sleeve. Issued under catalogue number SPELP 39, the release formed part of Polydor's mid-1980s reissue programme and has become a sought-after Velvet Underground collectible in its own right. Copies feature the unique \"Safety Film\" cover design rather than the original 1969 artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Safety Film\" sleeve has become one of the most recognisable Velvet Underground reissue variations and remains popular with collectors due to its unusual presentation and relatively limited availability compared with standard reissues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCandy Says\u003cbr\u003e\nWhat Goes On\u003cbr\u003e\nSome Kinda Love\u003cbr\u003e\nPale Blue Eyes\u003cbr\u003e\nJesus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSide B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning To See The Light\u003cbr\u003e\nI'm Set Free\u003cbr\u003e\nThat's The Story Of My Life\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Murder Mystery\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter Hours\u003cbr\u003e\nMatrix \/ Runout\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSide A: SPELP 39 A\u003cbr\u003e\nSide B: SPELP 39 B\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAdditional Information\u003cbr\u003e\nUK Polydor Special Series pressing\u003cbr\u003e\nRare \"Safety Film\" cover artwork\u003cbr\u003e\nSPELP 39 catalogue number\u003cbr\u003e\nFeatures \"Pale Blue Eyes\"\u003cbr\u003e\nIncludes \"Candy Says\" and \"What Goes On\"\u003cbr\u003e\nStereo pressing\u003cbr\u003e\nClassic Velvet Underground album\u003cbr\u003e\nDesirable collector's reissue\u003cbr\u003e\nCondition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSleeve: Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003cbr\u003e\nRecord: Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003cbr\u003e\nInner Sleeve: Very Good Plus (VG+)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRockabuy Records Grading Guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNear Mint (NM)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVirtually flawless condition.
