Additional Information

Comments 1971 reissue, LP originally released 1969. Recorded at T.T.G. Studios, LA, California.

Sleeve printed by McNeil Press Ltd.
Sunbury Music Ltd. on labels as opposed to [r=13955170] that has Oakfield Avenue M. Corp on labels.

Two mixes of this LP exist. MGM engineer Val Valentin completed a clean, bright, evenly balanced mix, but Lou Reed made an alternate (so called closet) mix. Whereas Valentin's mix was used for the earlier 1969 UK issue, Reed's mix was used here.

"Some Kinda Love" is actually a different take.
