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.

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.

yeah $20 per album seems perfectly reasonable to me

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.

had no idea Yule sang that

oh yeah, that's got some interesting stuff -- only live versions of oh sweet nuthin and train round the bend. oddly, despite its cover, those second fret recordings are sans moe. http://rootstrata.com/rootblog/?p=5248also, lou singing lead on candy says.

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.

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.
― tylerw, Friday, 21 September 2012 15:43 (eleven years ago) link

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.

Has anybody picked up the new cd box set yet? How does the Columbia University set sound? Has it improved at all?
Heard about a Japanese bootleg of the set being remastered about 5 years back and wondered waht that was like, if it's now been deemed suitable for official commercial release I'm wondering if that means anything good soundwise. There are some tracks on there I love as it is but might love even more. That Run Run Run sounds like Dresden being raided.Is it from some kind of original master tape now?
― Stevolende, Wednesday, 17 October 2012 20:41 (eleven years ago) link
i think it is supposed to be from the original tape? not sure how much diff it'll make. still an amazing recording. i haven't heard the box set yet, is it out?
