I'm now listening to the Multi EMI sourch from Perth Black Swan/ The Windsurfer from Empress Valley 9cd set. Realy, realy great stuff, maybe even better than the 3 Tokyo concerts, Newark and Glastonbury all together.
I wonder why Nico didn't like this album. 'Winter Song' is the most beautiful song written by John Cale. OK, there is also Chinese Envoy, Amsterdam, Style It Takes and, of course, Paris 1919.
But, the song 'Chelsea Girls'... sometimes I feel like this is Lou Reed's masterpiece (don't beat 'Venus In Furs' or even 'Heroin', though)
