The Velvet Underground’s Loaded: Loaded/Fully Loaded, 45 Years On And Still Going…

Those four studio albums by The Velvet Underground all made a huge impact on me. But the sentimental favourite is Loaded – it was the very first CD I purchased. I was a tape buyer, right through until the early-1990s, I wasn’t going to give up that tape collection…I had a tape-deck in my car […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1896

Lou Reed, Live: Take No Prisoners (1978) As far as live albums go it’s flawed – as far as stand-up comedy albums go it’s perfect. Here Lou Reed showed how punk he really was, no need for guitars, no need for conventional song-structures, no need for not having contempt for the audience. Here Lou Reed […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1935

The Velvet Underground, Loaded (1970) I have a special connection to this album as a CD; it was the first compact disc I ever bought. So my vinyl copy is a new print. I bought it a year or so ago. Beaut record. A firm favourite for me for close to 20 years now. It […]
