Still on the fence about ordering this on vinyl, but I might. I don't have the mono "Heroin" and it looks like this includes the longer edit of "Sweet Jane," which would be nice to have. And the Theatre of Eternal Music would be cool too. On a related note, I've always wanted to add Nolan Strong's "...

Wonderful news, thanks for sharing this! I like Light in the Attic, although pre-ordering is often crucial as they sell out fast. In my limited experience, my Light in the Attic vinyl for D'Angelo's Voodoo, Roky Erikson's The Evil One, and the Black Angels' Another Nice Pair sound great to me.

Thanks for posting this! Hadn't watched this in years (but still have my old VHS copy). And yes, the vinyl version of the Dom on "Yesterday's Parties" is much more like this, maybe with some more bass resonance underneath it all.

Hey, simonm. OK, as I remembered, I can confirm the 1966 Dom jam sounds WAY better on the vinyl "Yesterday's Parties" album, with no spliced interruptions or cutouts, like on that CD set (not to say I'm not extremely grateful that set came out back in the day). My guess is that this is generations a...

Yeah, the Dom is awesome. BTW, I meant to say "All Tomorrow's Parties" not "Symphony of Sound" in my post, but for some reason can't edit it. I can put it on and let you know. I know just how good the tape can sound though, as it's what they looped at the EPI exhibit in Pittsburgh's Warhol Museum. T...

Indeed, more Cale shows would be heavenly! And thanks for the tips MartinVU. Regarding these two new double LP boots.... I received my VUAS Valleydale 1966 2LP boot, and "Melody Laughter" is precisely 23 minutes, which is 5 minutes and 20 seconds less than the full version. It includes the full begi...

Mercy, what a month for VU boots! I HAD to make five purchases in December, which was not friendly to my wallet. I'm waiting for arrival on both the Gymnasium—at last "The Gift" live on vinyl!—and the Valleydale Ballroom LPs. I was wondering how Melody Laughter could be around 23 minutes, and my hop...

Cool story and fun 7-minute video (via that PBS link). I'm glad to have seen it, and it would make a nice extra on any 4k/bluray release of the Todd Haynes documentary.

I thought the vinyl sounded amazing on this. Deeper, in terms of detail, and more open than what I was used to previously. Made it through all 8 records and loved every minute of it. I think someone on the Steve Hoffman forums said it was akin to having the VU in the room with you...I'll concur with...

Pre-ordered mine. $200 was quite pricey, but I had no choice (i.e., be careful what you wish for, you just might get it...).

Can't wait to see (and hear) this among my VU vinyl!
