that's expensive!

Sounds a lot brighter than what we're used to but I'm ok with that. Maybe we're hearing the difference between the original master and cheaply pressed 60 year old vinyl. Or maybe they've just re-EQed it for the modern ear. I'd say it's almost unthinkable that any original masters exist for these ...

The compilation collects pop songs written by Reed during his mid-60s stint as a staff songwriter for the record label: https://thequietus.com/news/light-in-the-attic-reveals-anthology-of-lou-reeds-work-for-pickwick-records/ Great photo of the Pickwick staff: https://i.imgur.com/vF7v770.jpg Yes ...

I think that 14th May is the correct date from Princeton. In my files I have: 13th May: Youngstown State University 14th May: Princeton University 17th May: Montreal 18th May: Philadelphia 19th May: Harrisburg etc etc I have no idea where the "15th May" recording is from.... Thank you, this date ...

another date for 1972:

1972-10-31: Lady Mitchell Hall, Cambridge University, Cambridge

i.e. same venue as for the show on 13th October. I am in contact with a guy who saw both shows - apparently the 1st show went so well they booked Lou again.

I've had this for a while and have been trying to figure out the true order (without much success). I do think that the person being interviewed at (first file track 8) is actually Sterling Morrison. Anyone agree (or disagree?). Awesome! Thank you for this Gig setlist then - First file: 1. I'll Be ...

Did the tape-recorder run out?(unlikely, as it did fade out). OL's web site also hints somewhere that Klimek ...
