- The Music: From their 1967 debut with Nico to their 1993 reunion and beyond, via the finest Velvets songs and solo recordings - complete with the tales behind the tunes.
- Velvet Universe: Everybody who was anybody in the Velvets' world, taking in Andy Warhol, Edie Sedgwick, David Bowie, Delmore Schwartz and Brian Eno.
