Ok. Where does the transvestite/transexual reading of Lady Godiva's Operation actually come from? It's not really in the lyrics. The idea for the song's title probably came from Ronnie Tavel's play The Life of Lady Godiva and in that play Lady Godiva is a woman and played by a woman (Dorothy ...

This is cool, but the drums may not be recent. I found this on Major Spark's Facebook page from back in 2021: Major Spark pulled out an old 2" master of Moe Tucker (The Velvet Underground ) drumming with Mark [Goodman] and his band #Magnet.

Sorry, haven’t really listened to the 1995 versions since, well, 1995. I’ll have to re-familiarize myself with the other differences to be certain.

I just got my copy. I'm on Side 2 (of 4). Liking it a lot so far. No "wine and roses" on Sweet Jane, which is a plus for me. Are Rock and Roll and New Age the 1970 versions or the 1995 (or later) versions? Sorry, haven’t really listened to the 1995 versions since, well, 1995. I’ll have to re-fam ...
