Did you listen to the 1965 demo? Cales Welsh accent as he apologises for 'being uptown'

Lou Reed A Life is a fantastic book.
Yes he seemed to be a 'proper character' a chameleon as described many times.
The VU were so inspirational and so out there for the time - look at the themes on the debut. Have lots of live bootlegs of theirs, some amazing stuff.

I recently listened to the 45th anniversary super deluxe version of White Light/White Heat that includes 11 unreleased studio tracks, including an alternate version of "I Heard Her Call My Name," an early take of "Beginning to See the Light," the non-LP tracks "Temptation Inside Your Heart" and "Hey Mr. Rain," and two versions of "The Gift" that allow you to hear it with just vocals or music. Even better, the third disc contains the oft-bootlegged 1967 live show from the New York City rock club The Gymnasium, with  the Velvets clearly having a blast as they rip through a relatively danceable set that includes the otherwise unrecorded "I'm Not a Young Man Anymore" that's very good for an audience tape of this vintage

A good mate took 3 of us to New York a while back. We messed up because we were pissed all the time.
We stayed at the Lower East Side just around from CBGB's.

We hopped on the tube and staggered out at the street. Lexington 125.

We went for a pint and got told to get the fuck out of there because we were the only white folk around.

The group's work included Kajanus's invention the Nickelodeon, a musical instrument made of pianos, synthesizers and glockenspiels that allowed the four-piece band to reproduce on stage the acoustic arrangements that they had done in the recording studio.

Spot on. I mind the big Nickelodeon thing. Took up a good part of their stage.

I thought it was a nice 'natural' sound (ie acoustic rather'n electric) as a change from all the synthpop that was getting going at the time. Suited their nostalgic songs and lyrics relating to a bygone age. Still poppy as fk tho😃

It's a compilation covering their music before people turned onto them with their 4th album "His 'n' Hers" in 1994. The comp. came out after the 1996 follow up "Different Class" went massive. Don't think I have heard more than a couple of those early tracks. Is it any good?

Comedy probably.

The first three more likely to be music of some sort.
You spend too much time cooking steaks with that Chinese guy in your garden and need to get out more.

Not sure what he will do now he has been americanated.
