I've not repeated the image, but hasn't it been reversed? Surely lou never played left-handed?
Here's a similar photo.

Re: Sweet Jane question

Yes, a question on X might help (though I also don't use it).
I did fill in the contact/query form on the article's website but have had no reply.

Sweet Jane question

Was there ever a version of Loaded featuring Sweet Jane without the intro?

Back in the ads after six years or so - soundtrack to the Expedia Northern Lights package holiday is I'll be your mirror.

I'm baffled by the reference to Super Bowl in this write-up though https://www.udiscovermusic.com/news/vel ... r-bowl-ad/

Re: The King of New York review

Was much ever written about Reed's follow-ups to MMM, namely "The Stone Issue Three" and "Creation of the Universe"?

I must admit that by the time these were released I had stopped reading the "rock" press which was full of stuff that didn't interest me.

Playing MMM at 45 would make if even more removed from what it was originally.

Re: MMM Half Speed

Thanks, it's certainly different.

Years ago though I played one side of the vinyl at 45rpm and didn't notice.

Re: Velvet Underground Scrapbook

I also have a copy of the Scrapbook so at least one copy crossed the ocean but which way it travelled isn't known and sadly I don't know who compiled it. I also have a copy of the Souvenir of Discography compilation but never saw a Scrapbook Volume 2 in any of the London markets or record stores or ...

I also saw Sterling play with Moe in 1992 (at the Clapham Grand, if memory serves).
It does, probably, they certainly played there (I climbed on to the stage after to get Moe's autograph, the tale is on this forum somewhere).

Re: It was 30 years ago today - Reunion gig 1993

Lovely recollections everyone, they are all good to read. I went to the Wembley concert; what can I say? The sound was good, Reed's vocal phrasing was surprising and Cale's keyboards on Some Kinda Love were strangely jarring. I didn't expect to hear the wild excesses of the guitar amp tapes so the s...
