Fascinating propositions all, but not one of them came to fruition. I don't believe they made it to Expo '67, they sure never did the Sullivan show, didn't make it to Europe until after Reed was gone, and never got to work with Gomelsky. Perhaps the group was paying their publicist with dope, and he was high when he wrote the press release this report is obviously taken from.William Kermit Smith tells us that the Velvet Underground & Nico will work a 1-week gig at Montreal’s “Expo '67,” from Jan. 16th to 23th. During this stay they will tape an Ed Sullivan TV’er. The group is also scheduled for a 30-day European tour to begin in mid-March. This tour will be promoted by Giorgio Gomelsky.
Wace was co-manager of The Kinks. This was apparently a photo caption, with the photo itself long lost to old-magazine dust. It sucks that Cashbox's online archive is only a very poorly OCR'd text, compared to Billboard's wonderful full-page scans.Robert Wace, and William Kermit Smith.
