Lou Reed 1975-03-26 London previously uncirculated audience recording from Bill's collection

Post by lurid »

The cassette case was marked "Hammersmith 25/3" and the tracklisting was the same as the extant recording from that date BUT Jeff Howe spotted that it was not the same as the available recording from that date. So we have concluded that it is from the following night's show. Not a great recording but certainly listenable....I'll put a link to it below.

Note: Bill's cassette was unmarked but the cassette case was marked "Hammersmith 25/3". However, after discussion with Groovechild, comparison with the extant recording from 25th March, and reading of the contemporary press reviews of that show, we are convinced that Bill's cassette is actually a recording of the show on 26th March.

RIP Lou and Bill
