Lou Reed - Words & Music, May 1965 - Indie LP

Indie Retail Exclusive Edition

The inaugural release in Light in the Attic's Lou Reed Archive Series, produced in cooperation with Laurie Anderson, presents a previously unreleased tape of songs the young Lou Reed recorded with future Velvet Underground bandmate John Cale and mailed to himself as a "poor man's copyright." Sealed in its original envelope for nearly 50 years, these May 1965 demos capture Reed in his formative, folk-rooted years, with embryonic versions of future classics including "Heroin," "I'm Waiting for the Man," and "Pale Blue Eyes."
