Hi!
I'm looking for the tracklist and the location of the Afterhours Tapes number 9 so as to identify some stuff a guy sent to me in a trade. He has made a mix up with "Etc.." and other material and i can't no more recognize the different discs...
thanks in advance

According to Olivier's site:

"VU : DEMOS AND RARE EARLY RECORDINGS
Here's 17 of the '66 to '69 demos in their original acetate mixes (much different in feel than VU or Another View). Plus these early rarities : 2 songs live from the EPI film, Noise, Loop, Index, More. Note : the 6 1966 demos are presented here at the correct speed for the first time anywhere. Sound : good to fair."

I made the following scan from What Goes On, The Best of 1&2 (Velvet Underground Appreciation Society 1986) :

#9 RARE EARLY VU RECORDINGS
Sound: falr to good. Many early odds'n sods on here. All of the demos in circulation are scooped up into one spot, which is damn handy. The other side carries many odd tracks of '66 and '67 vintage. The most important thing here is the first appearance of corrected speed versions of the six 1966 demos. Until now, they haven't been heard at anything but the original draggy speed. The perpetrators have even left the snippets of the original versions for reference. See the Demo section for full details on all the demos.
SIDE l: It's All Right The Way That You Live (1966), One Of These Days (1970, two versions), I'm Not Too Sorry (1966), Stephanie Says (1968), Inside Your Heart (1968), Move Right In (1969), Rock And Roll (1969), Ocean (1969), She's My Best Friend (1969), I’m Sticking With You (1969), Ferryboat Bill (1969), Foggy Notion (1969).
SIDE 2: Andy's Chest (1969), Sheltered Life (1966, two versions), Guess I'm Falling In Love (live, NYC, 1967). H, Venus (these two from the EPI film). Noise (from EAST VILLAGE OTHER lp), Loop (ASPEN mag flexidisc). Index (from the Warhol book), Venus, H (both from WNET-TV, 1966).
