Notes

These tracks have been taken from Tapes

Sister Ray version comes from BTP 13 March 1969

Then, there is also a version of Heroin in the "warhol interview and Venus in Furs" track.
(could it be from TV in 66'??)

Joyous lake is with Angus Mc Lise.

You will appreciate the very beautiful solo version of WGO/Follow The leader, from Lou in 1971. To me, this version is absolutly the best ever improvisation from Lou I never heard before.

Last: The afterhours stuff is coming from the Afterhours tape#1. extract taken from this Tape: "This Piano instrumentale version has been written by Lou Reed.The song title and listed author, and even the word "Lou" in the group name, could all conceivably be coincidential, but the publishing company notation confirmed that it is Lou Reed who, at least, wrote this song. But it seems to be an entirely different melody than the song he later wrote with the same title.
