The guitar intro to Sweet Jane written and shared by Steve Hunter is sublime. This album takes a bunch of Velvet standards and elevates them. Lou Reed - Rock and Roll Animal, 1974 #np #NowPlaying #vinyl #MusicSky #LouReed #VelvetUnderground

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Buying The Velvet Underground & Nico: the 1967 Verve original is identified by REV on side 1 of the run-out, and by nothing on the sleeve or the label.

PRC in the run-out is a repress from 1973 to 1985 in a 1967 catalogue number.

#VelvetUnderground - Sweet Jane
youtu.be/hUcwNwMKAWs?...
Standin' on a corner
Suitcase in my hand
Jack is in his corset, Jane is in her vest
And me I'm in a rock 'n' roll band. Huh
Ridin' in a Stutz Bearcat, Jim
Ya know, those were different times
All, all the poets studied rules of verse...

MGM's royalty statement for the Velvet Underground breaks the first album's American sales in two: 13,336 mono and 45,140 stereo through February 1969. Three of every four buyers took the stereo home.
