Velvet Underground
Loaded: Re-Loaded
One of the greatest albums of all time, Velvet Underground’s Loaded will return as a six-disc collection that includes:
-The original album remastered in both stereo and mono
-A generous selection of demos, early versions and alternate mixes from that era
-A newly remastered/re-edited version of Live At Max’s Kansas City
-Two high resolution mixes, plus a surround sound mix in DTS and Dolby Digital
-An unreleased May 1970 concert recorded in Philadelphia
Remastered stereo and mono versions of the album fill out the first two discs, along with various outtakes, and the mono mix for the unissued single: “Rock & Roll” b/w “Lonesome Cowboy Bill.” The third disc explores the creative process behind many of the songs on the album with more than 20 demos, early versions and alternate mixes.
Fans will be excited to hear the unreleased club performance featured on the fifth disc. It was recorded on May 9, 1970 at the Second Fret in Philadelphia by Bob Kachnycz, a fan who hitchhiked to the show and recorded it on reel-to-reel. The band was down to a trio that night: Lou Reed, Sterling Morrison and Doug Yule, who alternated between bass and drums to fill in for Moe Tucker, who was pregnant at the time. Loaded, which came out six months after the show, is well represented with seven songs, including: “Cool It Down,” “Oh! Sweet Nuthin’” and “Sweet Jane.”
The final disc is an audio only DVD that features three different mixes of Loaded.
Disc 1: Loaded stereo remaster
Disc 2: Loaded mono remaster
Disc 3: Loaded demos, alternates and outtakes
Disc 4: Live At Max’s Kansas City remaster
Disc 5: Live At Second Fret, Philadelphia, PA 1970 (previously unreleased material)
