Words & Music, May 1965 - Limited Edition Cassette Tape**PLEASE NOTE, IF YOUR ORDER CONTAINS PREORDER ITEMS, THE ORDER WILL BE HELD TO SHIP UNTIL ALL ITEMS ARE IN STOCK** To hear a tape containing their earliest demos, recorded on May 11, 1965 and locked away until now, is to hear traces of things rarely associated with The Velvet Underground: blues and folk, earthy and traditional, uncertain and hesitant yet bristling with that rusty, caustic, Lou Reed spirit. It is a revelation. Will Hodgkinson, MOJO
