Light in the Attic announced that the music will be streaming this Friday and that there will be a "surprise" with the physical stuff coming in October. Yes, I get that Don't Think Twice is from the bonus 7" (and apparently all 6 tracks from that will also be on the CD), I was just making the point...

Rolling Stone review, which, oddly, includes "Put Your Money Down on the Table," which, though it is on the Copyright tape, is not included on the LITA release: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-album-reviews/lou-reed-words-music-may-1965-1234590523/ I wonder if that's going to be on one of ...
