Velvet Underground Trainspotting Question

Definitely prefer the Valentin mix but i heard that one first so that may be why. Like the Valentin some kinda love better.

I was so baffled when I heard that new Some Kinda Love on the 80's reissues, I had tracked down a french copy of the 3rd LP. I guess I prefer the Valentin mix (which is actually the original, right?), but I much prefer the closet take of SKL and feel sentimental about that mix as a whole.

I prefer Valentin mix/"Some Kinda Love" too, but not by a huge margin. It's the one I heard first and am most familiar with.

Well, it seems it's going to be a 6CD set!

CD3: The mono promo mix, plus the a and b-side of the single

2. ONE OF THESE DAYS 3.53
3. LISA SAYS 2.55
4. I'M STICKING WITH YOU 2.26

6. I CAN'T STAND IT 3.23
7. I'M GONNA MOVE RIGHT IN 6.32

"Foggy Notion" better include that six-note dealie at the beginning.

Bill Levenson on the Steve Hoffman forums sez:

I saw your post today, and thought I'd comment.

The track listing you posted is incorrect. What you posted is an old work-in-progress list of mine, which has been updated. Disc 4 has been totally reworked to feature either original 1969 mixes, or new 2014 mixes that strip away the 1980s technology of the VU/Another View albums. We spent a lot of time working on Disc 4, and we're very happy with the way it turned out!

I hope this list doesn't mislead a lot of SH forum members and fans!

Regards,

Bill

Dammit, I liked the 80s mixes!

xp

it doesn't, those bastards:

MATRIX RECORDINGS Y'ALL

Thanks for those links, sleeve! Guess I'll hold on even tighter to my vinyl VU.

so psyched for the matrix stuff. the other stuff doesn't seem tooooo exciting, though i'm sure it'll be nice (was kind of hoping for some random unreleased studio recordings).
in other VU trainspotting news: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/eat-to-the-beat-tickets-13180177265
Chefs Paul Kahan of Nico Osteria, Blackbird, and the Publican, and Matthias Merges of Yusho, Billy Sunday and A10 present a spectacular multi-course dinner inspired by the groundbreaking 1967 album The Velvet Underground & Nico - with special guest Velvet Underground founder John Cale.

i had missed this & oh wow at the matrix show comin

yessss - here's the whole sampler: http://www.aquariumdrunkard.com/2013/04/24/the-velvet-underground-the-matrix-sampler/

Well, the "1969" LP from the box set (hey, I managed to get one out of a box) has the Foggy intro.

So, you never know.

What? John Cale will make an irl appearance at VU themed events?!?

catered

in chicago! someone from ILM has to go.

Paging La Lechera.

I can cater! Egg white light/white hot omelettes in the morning, Some Kind of Steak at night...

This makes me wanna cry tbh

When is the food thing? I'd freak out if I could sup with John Cale. I'm sure it's $$$$$$$$$$.

oct. 12 - $250
would depress me too, if it was happening anywhere near me, because there's pretty much no way I could justify spending the cash.

:(
That's absurd

you guys seriously i know jc is probably a rich man now and he has rich ppl friends but who has $300 to blow for the VIP pass to this thing? it's depressing.

i mean can i crawl under someone's serving platter and plant myself on a cheese plate and wait to get thrown out?

(i have never been thrown out of anywhere in my life)

Mail yourself

that is a great idea!! merely for amusement!

get job with catering company, quit day after Cale event?

don't forget, greg kot and jim dero will be there too

For $300, Cale should be your table's personal violist throughout your meal.

Here's the other weird thing -- the food ticket is $250. For a mere $50 more you get to hobnob DIRECTLY?!
I'm gonna look for a box

What will the items on offer consist of>
I'm waiting for the manicotti?

kale salad

Some kind of meat

What goes on (it)?

Mo Mustard

La Lechera had reached her limit. It was now mid-September which meant that she had been separated from John Cale for more than six months.

*applause*

Huzzah, sir.

hahaha!!

lol

But no Lou, because FUCKING HELL.

after plunging the cutter through the middle of the package, John Cale will make red velvet cake for dessert

yeah in fairness Euler was first to the joke before crüt

I just loled alone in my kitchen about the great unveiling of jellied pork shoulder

Best recent joke along that last line was over here

Aargh, image is missing and I linked too far down, never mind.

Wait, it's still there, just blocked in some places I guess. Start here: Guess I'm Polling in Love: The Lou Reed Memorial Velvet Underground (and solo material) Ballot Poll Thread

1 SISTER RAY (36.46)

I can die happy now.

i believe it's the same performance as the one on disc 2 of the quine tapes, just in glorious sound quality. it is going to be soooo good.
