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.[citation needed] (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.[citation needed] (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.)[citation needed] 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&.
