Notes: Lou
Reed left the Velvets around this time and you can feel the change
in attitude with this record. He did leave a few new classic tunes
before departing. There's a simple feel to the entire record that
combines their strong lyriciscm with pop melodies (listen to the
background voices on "Who
Loves the Sun") and rock guitars. Some long-time favorites
were born of this album and a thousand garage bands gained inspiration.
The cover illustration and photography are also simple in nature,
but are quite fitting. Ya gotta have this one.
