THE Velvet Underground
"LOADED"
VERY RARE ...Original 1970 ADVANCED RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL first pressing in TOP MINTY condition....still in original factory shrink wrapper
The LAST Velvet Underground album ... grows with repeat plays and containins the great Sweet Jane. It got a bad rap when first released some 38 years ago for not overflowing with distortion guitars or squeeky viola & drug lyrics but when listening with an open mind, you catch the music that flows along just fine...
One of the greatest albums of the 70s, the Velvet Underground's Loaded, was considered the least essential of the Velvets' four classic recordings (The Velvet Underground & Nico, White Light/White Heat, The Velvet Underground), due primarily to its obvious pandering to commercial radio, Lou Reed was a master songwriter, and though sometimes bogged down by ornate production work, some of the band's most notable work is contained here. "Sweet Jane", sadly more recognized as a Cowboy Junkies song since its appearance in Natural Born Killers, is a classic rock strut, a signal to Reed's solo work on Transformer, pulled off with the panache and verve only Lou Reed seemed able to perfect. "Rock & Roll", "I Found a Reason", "Cool It Down", "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'"-- what other bands have had a run of songs like that on their least considered record?
Unfortunately, though, Loaded didn't sell. And Lou Reed, brought down by negative reviews ("Where's 'The Murder Mystery?!'" "Doug Yule's a fu*king idiot!") and grim record sales, abruptly walked out on the band, officially euthanizing their careers. It was no way for a band like this to go out, and I wouldn't be surprised if Reed regrets having ended on this note. Had he stuck around for one more record, and recorded his Transformer tracks with Sterling Morrison and Mo Tucker, it might have given their last gasp more dignity.
But even Reed's closing the book on the Velvet Underground with a tantrum can't detract from their legacy of such essential, groundbreaking and revelatory music. And Loaded, recorded during the band's legendary stay at Max's Kansas City in the summer of 1970, is a part of that legacy. The rock may be straighter and lighter-hearted, and John Cale's see-sawing viola might be missed, but at the end of the day, you can't mess with these songs. There's no excuse for not owning this album.
