I've always thought 'Cindy Tells Me' from HCTWJ was such a rip-off of the VU's sound you could imagine Nico singing...great tune though!

I don't know if anyone here remembers but a few years ago Eno auctioned off a recording of his version of White Light/White Heat along with the rights to that version to benefit his Warchild charity.
I never heard what became of that. Anyone know?

I've emailed the label to see if they have any plans...
