The Don's selections cross time, space and genre, and this week he selects The Velvet Underground and Nico as his Crucial Vinyl.

The Don's selections cross time, space and genre. Each week, as well as blending his favourite new music with classics from the UK, USA, Jamaica, Africa and way beyond, Don highlights a piece of Crucial Vinyl - a cherished album from his own collection. This week it's the Velvet Underground's 1967 debut The Velvet Underground and Nico.

Don says, 'With Andy Warhol in the mix, the look, sound and subject matter of the Velvet's debut album flew in the face of the flower power generation. Consequently it flopped on release, selling only 30,000 copies, but, as Brian Eno once said, everyone that bought the record started a band.'.
