Capturing Reed in his formative years, this previously unreleased collection of songs—penned by a young Lou Reed, recorded to tape with the help of future bandmate John Cale, and mailed to himself as a “poor man’s copyright”—remained sealed in its original envelope and unopened for nearly 50 years. Its contents embody some of the most vital, groundbreaking contributions to American popular music committed to tape in the 20th century. Through examination of these songs rooted firmly in the folk tradition, we see clearly Lou’s lasting influence on the development of modern American music – from punk to art-rock and everything in between. A true time capsule, these recordings not only memorialize the nascent sparks of what would become the seeds of the incredibly influential Velvet Underground; they also cement Reed as a true observer with an innate talent for synthesizing and distilling the world around him into pure sonic poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr\u003eI'm Waiting for the Man - May 1965 Demo, Men of Good Fortune - May 1965 Demo, Heroin - May 1965 Demo, Too Late - May 1965 Demo, Buttercup Song - May 1965 Demo, Walk Alone - May 1965 Demo, Buzz Buzz Buzz - May 1965 Demo, Pale Blue Eyes - May 1965 Demo, Stockpile - May 1965 Demo, Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams - May 1965 Demo, I'm Waiting for the Man - May 1965 Alternate Version, Gee Whiz - 1958 Rehearsal, Baby, Let Me Follow You Down - 1963\/64 Home Recording, Michael, Row The Boat Ashore - 1963\/64 Home Recording, Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (Partial) - 1963\/64 Home Recording, W \u0026amp; X, Y, Z Blues - 1963\/64 Home Recording, Lou's 12-Bar Instrumental - 1963\/64 Home Recording\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UFcrIe7d3uQ\" height=\"360\" width=\"640\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light In The Attic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41683146277020,"sku":"LITA189-1","price":53.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/LITA1891.jpg?v=1654587575"},{"product_id":"lou-reed-words-music-may-1965-pink-lp","title":"Lou Reed - Words \u0026 Music, May 1965 [Pink LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP, Pink\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: LITA188-1-3\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 826853318839\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 26 Aug 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Singer-Songwriter\/Classic Rock\/Art-Rock\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight in the Attic Records, in cooperation with Laurie Anderson, proudly announces the inaugural title in their ongoing Lou Reed Archive Series: Words \u0026amp; Music, May 1965.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e“To hear a tape containing their earliest demos, recorded on May 11, 1965, and locked away until now, is to hear traces of things rarely associated with The Velvet Underground: blues and folk, earthy and traditional, uncertain and hesitant… yet bristling with that rusty, caustic, Lou Reed spirit.

Capturing Reed in his formative years, this previously unreleased collection of songs—penned by a young Lou Reed, recorded to tape with the help of future bandmate John Cale, and mailed to himself as a “poor man’s copyright”—remained sealed in its original envelope and unopened for nearly 50 years. Its contents embody some of the most vital, groundbreaking contributions to American popular music committed to tape in the 20th century. Through examination of these songs rooted firmly in the folk tradition, we see clearly Lou’s lasting influence on the development of modern American music – from punk to art-rock and everything in between. A true time capsule, these recordings not only memorialize the nascent sparks of what would become the seeds of the incredibly influential Velvet Underground; they also cement Reed as a true observer with an innate talent for synthesizing and distilling the world around him into pure sonic poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklist:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI'm Waiting for the Man - May 1965 Demo, Men of Good Fortune - May 1965 Demo, Heroin - May 1965 Demo, Too Late - May 1965 Demo, Buttercup Song - May 1965 Demo, Walk Alone - May 1965 Demo, Buzz Buzz Buzz - May 1965 Demo, Pale Blue Eyes - May 1965 Demo, Stockpile - May 1965 Demo, Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams - May 1965 Demo, I'm Waiting for the Man - May 1965 Alternate Version (CD\/Cassette Only), Gee Whiz - 1958 Rehearsal (CD\/Cassette Only), Baby, Let Me Follow You Down - 1963\/64 Home Recording (CD\/Cassette Only), Michael, Row The Boat Ashore - 1963\/64 Home Recording (CD\/Cassette Only), Don't Think Twice, It's All Right (Partial) - 1963\/64 Home Recording (CD\/Cassette Only), W \u0026amp; X, Y, Z Blues - 1963\/64 Home Recording (CD\/Cassette Only), Lou's 12-Bar Instrumental - 1963\/64 Home Recording (CD\/Cassette Only)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Light In The Attic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41683181666460,"sku":"LITA188-8","price":10.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/LITA1881_1f45af84-a7d1-4088-beec-5c95693a8f1d.jpg?v=1654589119"},{"product_id":"lou-reed-hudson-river-wind-meditations-2lp","title":"Lou Reed - Hudson River Wind Meditations [2LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: 2 x LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: LITA1901 \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 826853190107 \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 12 Jan 2024\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: New Age\/Ambient\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLou Reed’s final solo album is finally available again .
