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:
“I look on trade and every mechanical craft as education also. But let me discriminate what is precious herein. There is in each of these works an act of invention, an intellectual step, or short series of steps taken; that act or step is the spiritual act; all the rest is mere repetition of the same a thousand times.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The other 1000 are principally the ‘old Yankee stock,’ who have lost the town, politically, to the Portuguese; who deplore the influx of the ‘off-Cape furriners’; and to whom a volume of genealogy is a piece of escape literature.”
—For the State of Massachusetts, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“The variables of quantification, ‘something,’ ‘nothing,’ ‘everything,’ range over our whole ontology, whatever it may be; and we are convicted of a particular ontological presupposition if, and only if, the alleged presuppositum has to be reckoned among the entities over which our variables range in order to render one of our affirmations true.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
