Description

This sleeper-fan-favorite from Lou Reed and Velvet Underground is getting its first reissue on vinyl in over 40 years. This 2LP is comprised of two late-in-the-year dates at End of Cole Ave in Dallas and at the Matrix in San Francisco, all sourced from fan tape recordings, the two-track mixdown straight from the live console, or from acetate copies. The fact that few recordings of Velvet Underground exist from before 1970 has made this compilation a treasured gem amongst fans. The tracks on this 2LP showcase a stripped-down and vulnerable Lou Reed accompanied by a band at arguably their creative zenith, and each song offers a fresh perspective on their respective studio versions LP1A1 Waiting For My ManA2 Lisa SaysA3 What Goes OnA4 Sweet JaneB1 Were Gonna Have A Real Good Time TogetherB2 Femme FataleB3 New AgeB4 Rock And RollB5 Beginning To See The Light LP2C1 OceanC2 Pale Blue EyesC3 HeroinD1 Some Kinda LoveD2 Over YouD3 Sweet Bonnie Brown / Its Just Too MuchD4 White Light/White HeatD5 Ill Be Your Mirror
