rewind: unearthed velvet

Now for a couple of obscure tracks that really deserve to be heard: First seen as my inaugural post on Realm of |X|, they date from Lou Reed's pre Velvet Underground days, with all the raw exuberance and humour of that band's previously released "previously unreleased" material:



These songs are from an Australian vinyl bootleg titled "the velvet underground -etc." and as far as I know have never been released officially. One day I hope to share the entire album plus a companion release titled "the velvet underground (and so on)" although a number of the tracks have subsequently turned up on various Velvets compilations...

Cycle Annie by the Beachnuts
You're Drivin' Me Insane by the Primitives

These two tracks were ripped from a well worn tape.
If anyone out there can point me to a better quality rip of this record, the world will be a better place (and we all know it needs to be)!
