Are these recordings available or are they unreleased?

It's quite incredible that a recording like this exists and a poorer one was officially released. The same thing happened with the Matrix Tapes, inexplicable. That said, the quality is significantly better, the sound is deeper, and Cale's keyboards stand out more on IWFTM and Sister Ray. It's a ...

Hi everyone. Does anyone know if the audio quality of these two bootlegs is the same or if there are any differences in the sound performance? Thank you https://www.discogs.com/it/master/336055-The-Velvet-Underground-Live-At-The-Gymnasium https://www.discogs.com/it/release/20950972-The-Velvet ...

Great Job!

Do you think we could play a little with the volume of Lou's voice in the Gymnasium bootleg? Strangely, I consider it too high. It overwhelms the mood of the band in some moments
