The Velvet Forum

I am [slowly] going through the posts by Grant McPhee at his substack, and found this interesting article: "DPU to Probe Cape Blackout" 1967 July 12, The Standard-Times [New Bedford, MA], page 25, news item scan found at https://grantmcphee.substack.com/p/the-velvet-underground-popularity-0c6 full ...

I see three+one options: 1.I send the whole file/folder to somebody who has a server and makes it available for downlownload 2.I cut out the talk by John Peel and upload it without mentioning any tracks nor VU 3.who wants it PMs me and I'll send it by mail --another possibility might be renaming all ...

The link gets caught by a bit of AI that thinks this is available on Amazon and you can't get to the actual link. Maybe it needs renaming? Is anyone else getting this issue? I see what you mean. On the list in my account it's mentioned as being restricted, because of copyright claim. When I'm ...
