Can someone help me out with The Velvet Underground? I'm already somewhat familiar with them and have two of their albums (& Nico and Self-titled) but I'm confused about how a lot of their stuff was released.

For example, I really like the song Stephanie Says but I can't find it on any albums. (According to Wikipedia it was only released on some outtakes album in the 80s-- is that true? I always thought it was a single.) Are there are any compilation albums or something that would tie up the loose ends for me? Is the outtakes album worth getting is or the song available somewhere better?

Stephanie Says can also be found on the Peel Slowly and See box Set along a ton of outtakes, but since you've already got two of their four albums it probably wouldn't be worth your money to get it. Really, just pick up White Light/White Heat and you should be good.

As for Loaded, it's good but it pales in comparison to the VU's other stuff, but if you still want more from them it's worth a look.
