Reinvention

I’m gonna be busy Monday and Tuesday night, looks like.

This is old damn news, but dylanchords is not just a useful resource for finding chords to songs that Dylan has performed; looking though the site, I found chords for many traditional songs that I have long been familiar with but not seen in this familiar format.

Velvet

The Velvet Underground Web Page. Helpful to me today as I began to assemble a list of the Velvets records I have or once had on vinyl in an attempt to plan for obtaining the missing material in digital format. The most challenging aspect will doubtless be locating the initial, un-remastered CD releases of these records. Why do people gotta fuck with a good thing?

For the record, here’s what I’m digging for:

Title Original Release Date
The Velvet Underground and Nico 1967
White Light/White Heat 1968
The Velvet Underground 1969
Loaded 1970
Live at Max’s Kansas City 1972
1969 Velvet Underground Live 1974
VU 1985
Another VU 1986

I currently have White Light/White Heat, the Loaded 2-disc remastered version, and Another VU on CD. I had thought I had The Velvet Underground and Nico, but I appear to have lost it. On vinyl, I think I have all of these, with the possible exception of the 1969 live record. On CD, I also have the recently-released Quine tapes.
