Lou Reed's First Impression of the Ramones (Taped conversation from '75!)

Wow, now I know why Lou (publicly) always had a very luke-warm response to the Ramones: He thought they were incredible.

"Ya know, that is...ya know...without doubt the most fantastic thing you've ever played for me. Bar none."

Listen to this Danny Fields' recording from 1975:

Isn't it just great to hear Lou laugh! 8-) I'm really looking forward to seeing this.

Looks like they added "hiss" to the recording so people won't copy it. That's different from when I posted it here.

EDIT: Ah - never mind. It was me!
