| Summary |
"Capturing Lou Reed in his formative years, this previously unreleased collection of songs--authored and recorded to tape by Reed with the help of future bandmate John Cale, and mailed to himself as a 'poor man's copyright' on May 11th, 1965--remained unopened for nearly 50 years; features the earliest known recordings of 'I'm waiting for the man,' 'Pale blue eyes,' and 'Heroin' as made famous by The Velvet Underground; includes six unheard tracks recorded between 1958 and 1964, including early demos, a cover of Bob Dylan's 'Don't think twice, it's all right,' and a doo-wop serenade recorded in '58 when the legendary singer-songwriter was just sixteen years old"--Container packaging. |
