Bootleg Series Volume 1: The Quine Tapes is a triple live album by The Velvet Underground. It was released on October 16, 2001 by Polydor, the record label overseeing The Velvet Underground's Universal Music Group back catalogue.
The Quine Tapes is currently the first and only release in the proposed Bootleg Series. It was originally recorded live by Robert Quine, a fan of the band who would later become an influential guitarist and played with musicians such as Richard Hell, Lou Reed and Lloyd Cole .
The second volume in The Bootleg Series was to be an April 1967 show recorded at The Gymnasium in New York City. (Two songs from this show, "Guess I'm Falling in Love" and "Booker T," appeared on the 1995 box set Peel Slowly and See.) Apparently monetary disputes between the band and Universal have put a hold on future entries in the series. (This same dispute over a revised contract also kept "Miss Joanie Lee," recorded during a rehearsal at Andy Warhol's Factory, from appearing on the deluxe two-CD reissue of The Velvet Underground & Nico.) The Gymnasium show was eventually released in 2008 as an actual bootleg recording, and features the only known recorded performance of the song "I'm Not a Young Man Anymore," as well as the live debut of "Sister Ray".

Famous quotes containing the words series, volume and/or quine:
“Depression moods lead, almost invariably, to accidents. But, when they occur, our mood changes again, since the accident shows we can draw the world in our wake, and that we still retain some degree of power even when our spirits are low. A series of accidents creates a positively light-hearted state, out of consideration for this strange power.”
—Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
“So it is with books, for the most part: they work no redemption on us. The bookseller might certainly know that his customers are in no respect better for the purchase and consumption of his wares. The volume is dear at a dollar, and after to reading to weariness the lettered backs, we leave the shop with a sigh, and learn, as I did without surprise of a surly bank director, that in bank parlors they estimate all stocks of this kind as rubbish.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To call a posit a posit is not to patronize it. A posit can be unavoidable except at the cost of other no less artificial expedients. Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
