Allow me to break in here and mention there is a newly discovered Velvet Underground bootleg recording from 1967. Ordinarily I'd just nod to myself give it a listen and not mention it, but two and a 1/2 things stand out here.
1/2 - it's encoded at a nice high bit rate (250 vbr), and the quality is surprisingly good for a 40 (!) year old bootleg just uncovered, especially considering it was likely recorded on acetate.
2 - The version of Sister Ray, which clocks in just under 19 mins, kicks seven kinds of ass (Run Run Run is pretty sweet as well, classic VU)
1 - THERE IS A NEW SONG!, ok, without caps, there is a song, in good quality, previously unknown of. "I'm not a young man anymore"

Alrighty, by now either you are now bored, or want to know where to get it. Get it here

The Velvet Underground is the best band of all time.


Thanks (again) for the groovy VU Link edgewood.

The sound quality on these is a lot better than on those other newly discovered acetates that were on e-bay or wherever.
