Yeah, those tape boxes were the CD covers for the discs in the box set from the mid-90s. I remember trying to understand what the heck the notes next to each track meant.
I love that "Sister Ray" is handwritten in, having crossed out "Searching."

the peel slowly and see tape box is slightly differenthttp://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hWb26SAoAv8/TxKs2EWwctI/AAAAAAAABl8/JpeNwegCPfo/s1600/void%2525280%252529-2.jpegi can kind of imagine the velvets jamming on searchin' by the coasters.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 17:40 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, definitely. "I'm Gonna Move Right In" slightly resembles "Searchin'."

listening to the sundazed track order for 1969 now. works OK -- weirdest inclusion is "move right in". unless they've uncovered a vocal track for it, it still sounds like an unfinished jam. i like it, but i find it doubtful the band would've released it back then. and they've left out finished tunes like andy's chest, she's my best friend, ferryboat bill etc.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 17:44 (eleven years ago) link
xp yeah you're right "move right in" kinda borrows the searchin groove.

guys I think Sister Ray was called "Searching" by the tape op because of the repeated line "I'm searching for my mainline" throughout the song.

No "she's my best friend"? That's crazy. Song is awesome.
― Trip Maker, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 18:22 (eleven years ago) link
I couldn't figure out what "Searching" was... first guess was "Beserking"

$100 for 5 Sundazed LPs (+posters & neat-o box) sounds about right. Their Quine set is that much for 6 records.
― Hut Stricklin at Lake Speed (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 18:58 (eleven years ago) link
yeah $20 per album seems perfectly reasonable to me
― chicago rap twitter luminary (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 29 August 2012 19:01 (eleven years ago) link
re: she's my best friend -- anti doug yule bias? seems wrong -- he sang lead on both the third LP and loaded, would've been surprising if he didn't get a vocal showcase on the lost album.
― tylerw, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 19:02 (eleven years ago) link
had no idea Yule sang that

wow Live at Max's Kansas City is really worse than I remember it. Why did this even get released? the drumming is criminal - dude plays the same pattern on every song (except After Hours) and then steamrolls over everything with stupid fills at the end of every bar. The Jim Carroll comments are funny but beyond that ugh
― stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 21 September 2012 15:36 (eleven years ago) link
Why? Because it concluded the Velvets' deal with Atlantic records.

oh. right.

could they not get the rights to the live 1969 tapes (or any other, better tapes for that matter)?
― stop swearing and start windmilling (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 21 September 2012 15:40 (eleven years ago) link
Not at that time, no.
The 1969 tapes got issued in 1974 I think.
― Mark G, Friday, 21 September 2012 15:40 (eleven years ago) link
definitely the worst VU release, but i still get some enjoyment out of it. it is strange that they released it, contract filler or not -- it was released pre-Transformer, right? it must've sold like 200 copies when it was first put out. crazy how laissez faire lou was about the band during that era -- "you want your brother, who plays nothing like moe tucker, to be in the band? sure, whatever." the sound is radically different w/o moe in the band, like everyone in the band plays in a completely different way.

Moe was off on maternity leave. She was at the gig, apparently.
Actually, Billy does alright on "Waiting for the man", but yeah.
― Mark G, Friday, 21 September 2012 15:46 (eleven years ago) link
yeah billy was just the temporary fill-in, but still, it's like they gave him zero direction (i think he even has said he hadn't heard the records before he got the gig).
― tylerw, Friday, 21 September 2012 15:48 (eleven years ago) link
So, it's not his fault.
I mean, it's him on "Loaded", isn't it? He does OK there.
― Mark G, Friday, 21 September 2012 15:50 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, i think it's a mix of him and a session drummer on loaded. i'm willing to cut the guy some slack, he was only 17, wasn't he?
― tylerw, Friday, 21 September 2012 15:53 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, about three different drummers on Loaded, including him.
Then again, it was Deep Purple's drummer on their next album!
― Mark G, Friday, 21 September 2012 15:56 (eleven years ago) link
yeah I think he acquits himself pretty well on Loaded - this set is just weird. It sort of reminds me of the Funkadelic Meadowbrook release where it's a brand new (and very different) drummer's first ever time playing with the band.
