1. Velvet Underground - Symphony in Sound (31 mins) The only "finished" Warhol films definitely known to include VU sounds are 1965's Hedy, The Shoplifter; The Velvet Underground and Nico, A Symphony Of Sound from January 1966; and Chelsea Girls from later that same year. Chelsea Girls and especially Hedy, although technically only Reed and Cale, are excellent examples of the sort of atmospheric scores the Velvet's experimented with in their earlier days with MacLise, hauntingly sparse, echoy and distant sounding, highlighted by electronic squawks and groans. Symphony, on the other hand, contains a great twenty minute VU jam track with all four Velvets, drums and all, over half of which is a sheer white roar of noise with little discernable rhyme or reason. (There was no mike for Nico, so she sits there doing nothing more than looking gorgeous.) It's the only known film with sync-sound VU, and the skimpy 16mm film track is no match for their overload of sound. A melody eventually emerges from the din once the band quiets down after the unexpected arrival of the New York City police, who soon persuade them to stop completely.

2. Exploding Plastic Inevitable (22 mins) Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable (8th Jan 1966 Colour/B&W 22 mins) Directed by Ronald Nameth, the EPI performance with the VU & Nico, Gerard Malanga and Mary Woronov.

3. Various Super 8 Films (14 mins)
