Re: 1967 Gymnasium tapes
Please! Someone buy this so we can all find out if its genuine or not!
I've mentioned this to casual/non-VU fans today and they reckon this could be the tape find of this decade! 'Searchin'' FFS! INAYMA! FFS x 2!
Shame my turntable has been packed away (emigrating to NZ soon) and I'm broke!

Oh my oh my this is all too much. A friend of mine went to a dinner last night with John Cale. A told him to ask John about the Gymnasium tapes and what was going on with them. And John replied they're out! Someone has already bootlegged them "and the horses had ran away". I don't understand how this could have happened. But this must be the one! I went to a lecture today at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm. There was a talk about the Velvets and the EPI with John Cale and Ronald Nameth. Very very cool! John seemed incredible fresh and vital.
By the way, It's a brilliant Warhol show at MM at the moment. Opened yesterday (John and Ronald was there). Lots and lots of films. I saw a few screentests (Lou's lips, Louie with Hershie and lots of Cale). It will be shown later this year in London and in the states. Don't miss it!

Re: 1967 Gymnasium tapes
I see the LP is advertised as the complete tapes. Hasn't it been confirmed that Walk and Talk was on the Gymnasium tapes? Booker T should be there too.
Re: 1967 Gymnasium tapes
Hi
I bought a copy too - Will let you know when I will receive it.
I am curious about that boot, which by the way is NOT the complete set as Booket T, Guess I am Faling In Love, and other are missing..Maybe they will come later..
Very exciting to hear that new song as well..
