1965 demo tape being released later 2022.

Post by bleach » 18 Jan 2022 18:31

According to an article in March's Uncut magazine on Lou's archive, the Pickwick 1965 demo tape which was previously sealed and now opened is going to be released later this year.

"Light In The Attic are due to release that later this year, as the commercial release of Lou Reed's archive begins in earnest"

I'd noticed that in the credits of the Haynes documentary, one of the demos (I think "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams") was credited courtesy Light In The Attic Records. I was wondering what was going on there.

I got a few Lee Hazlewood records from LITA a whie back, and they were really nicely done, and fairly priced, as well. I hope it's the same story with this.

I can't say the same about a This Heat repress LP I bought from them. Still, they seem to be pressing both CDs and LPs for some of their releases, and maybe their LP pressings have improved, so I'm sure we'll be allright one way or another.

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.

Very cool news. Based on the bits we've heard, it seems to be just Lou with some help from John, rather than any iteration of the full band, but let's not carp. Hope there are more gems to come.

There really doesn't seem to be anything much of the band in Reed's archive. At least not anything we haven't already heard.

Can confirm that the 1965 demos I heard at the Lincoln Center library were 90%+ Lou, with Cale mostly as the audience.

There is still some very interesting stuff in the archives which you can't listen to, even if you are there at the library. There is a set of recordings for the third album, which, if the dates are accurate, predate Cale's departure from the VU. (date listed is July 5, 1968). Presumably, the Beginning to See The Light we have with Cale is from that session.
