Notes


Velvet Underground
Ride Into The Sun
7-inch Bootleg EP

This starts out with a rare radio ad for the third album, but then includes a few tracks from End of Cole Ave. and two cover versions (?) for no apparent reason.

The real jewels, though, and the reason to have this, are the four versions of Ride Into The Sun taken from the acetates of the recording sessions for the Lost Album.

1. Jingle Radio (0:58)
2. One Of These Days (4:00)
3. Pale Blue Eyes (6:21)
4. I'm Sticking With You (2:37)
5. Ride Into The Sun (3:47)
6. Ride Into The Sun (2:36)
7. Femme Fatale - The Carnival Of Fools (cover)(3:16)
8. European Son - Subterranean Dining Rooms (cover)(5:08)
9. Ride Into The Sun #1 (3:02)
10. Ride Into The Sun #2 (3:10)
11. Beginning To See The Light (4:53)
