MINT ...looks unplayed...
Chanced upon a spare copy of this limited pressing undoubtedly containing high collector interest with 1970 demo versions, vastly different takes to the formation of "LOADED" the last Velvet Underground album from the Spring/Summer 1970, Atlantic Recording Studios, New York NY.
BY 1970, THE NEW YORK CITY BAND the Velvet Underground had fallen apart. Lou Reed -- singer/songwriter, and the group's major creative force abruptly left the band to pursue a solo career. The highly gifted Welsh bassist John Cale had left several years earlier, and by the time the band went into the studio to record Loaded in April of 1970, they were disillusioned with their lack of commercial and critical success. As a sort of last shot at fame, they wrote and recorded 10 tunes that were solid, mainstream poprock material, an album that songwriter Reed said was "loaded with hits." The band didn't survive to see the album released -- Reed quit a month before Loaded hit the stores in September 1970. The original versions of "Sweet Jane" and "Rock & Roll" show up here. The alternate takes show works in progress, often featuring sloppiness to a charming degree, looser versions of tunes, and many of the outtakes that didn't make it onto the 1970 version of Loaded would later show up on Lou Reed's solo albums, including earky versions of "Satellite of Love," "Ride Into the Sun," and "Ocean." Loaded is a classic pop-rock album, full of well-crafted tunes, catchy hooks, and memorable vocalizations. It was quite unlike their earlier material, and perhaps unfairly criticized for that. No one was ready to accept the Velvet Underground as poprock songmeisters. Too bad, because they did it very well ...
