one. Among their display was a bottle of red liquid labelled as "Cherry Velvet" and described as "a fine smooth blend of vodka, cherry wine and West Country magic". I had finally found cherry vodka and didn't hesitate to buy a bottle - but would it be a match for the Polish drink I had sampled in Revolution?
The bottle itself is uninspiring, the label a simple white one with green text and a gold Witham Friary logo - in short, it looks like something produced from a very small company who doesn't go for an emphasis on appearances. But that in itself is rather good, as it usually means that the emphasis is on the product itself, and not on the marketing. I believe this makes it vastly superior to any of the mass-produced and over-advertised stuff you get in chain stores! :-)

Advantages: Sounds great, probably their best album Disadvantages: None
The Velvet Underground is one of those groups who became far more famous after their demise, haveing had little real success during their existence.
The hype which accompanied their creation and launch was considerable if one takes into account this was the 60's when PR was rather less important and sophisticated than it is now. The band came from the hip "punk" (in the American sense of the word) scene of New York.

Nico was a mysterious German chanteuse more famed for her beauty than her husky - sometimes out of tune - voice.
