Velvet Underground - The Quine Tapes (1969)

This is for ZoSo))) who is a dribbling mad

VU man. This box set has 3 live sets from

3 different venues - a guy called Richard

Quine had the foresight to record them on

his 2 track.

As normal bootlegs go, this is not a sound

board recording but bearing in mind it's from

'69, it's pretty fucking good.

There are the 2 Live VU albums that have the

picture of the girls arse on but I always thought

the sound was thin and sterile.

These have a much warmer sound and the

band seem to be going for it. This comes

across in the songs and performances.

As it is a 3CD set, you will have to dl in

2 hits. Oh yeah, each set ends with a 30 min

Sister Ray!

Velvet Underground - Guitar Amp Tapes 1969

Ever wanted to hear Lou Reed play

guitar in the VU louder?

Here you go. A gig with the guitar

mike shoved into his amp capturing

all his sonic glory ..... and the quiet

delicate bits you could never hear.

You can read whole essays about this

tape - how Reed applied free jazz

improvisational techniques on a rock

format and used Ornette Coleman

harmolodics to his guitar work .....

or just a man hitting his guitar very hard

and making a glorious noise.

The quality is not as bad as you think, you

can still make out the songs but in the distance.

If you want to listen to the VU songbook,

probably best to stay clear but if you want to

hear some sonic mangling - get some White Light, White heat
