The Very Best of The Velvet Underground is a compilation album by the Velvet Underground. It was released in Europe on March 31, 2003, by Polydor, the record label that oversees the band's Universal Music Group back catalog.
The album was released following a Hyundai television commercial, which featured the band's 1970 recording "I'm Sticking with You" from the "Fully Loaded" edition of Loaded. The version included in this compilation is from the VU album (recorded in 1969, released in 1985), despite a sticker's claim to the contrary on the front cover.
