About the album edit

The Best of The Velvet Underground: The Millennium Collection is a straight, chronologically sequenced trawl through the studio and live albums that the band recorded for Verve Records, MGM Records and Mercury Records.[citation needed]

The Best of The Velvet Underground: The Millennium Collection was initially released in the United States and subsequently in the same configuration for the European market. In the United Kingdom, the album was quickly superseded by another budget compilation, Rock and Roll: an Introduction to The Velvet Underground, which had its own selection of tracks.

A number of other European countries (re-)released The Best of The Velvet Underground: The Millennium Collection with different titles and cover art, yet always with the same track listing. These include Classic Velvet Underground (Polydor/UMG's European edition of the album, in the Universal Masters Collection series),[3] Millennium Edition (Germany), and Velvet Underground (France).[4] Both the American and European editions were simultaneously released for the European market, differing only in cover art (and catalogue number).
