Re: Tease from LITA

The worst thing about 'Words and Music' was that the press kit apparently made it seem as thought we'd never heard acoustic versions of any of those banana album songs, as though disc 1 of Peel Slowly and See never happened almost three decades ago. (I'm assuming it was in the press kit/press releas...

Re: VU Photo Thread

Posted by Paul Myers to Facebook (not sure if this has been posted here before?), with the message A few years before he passed away, I asked my friend Nat Finklestein for a Velvet Underground photo that nobody had ever seen before.
