Richard L. ★★★★★

The packaging is gorgeous and the bonus 7-inch adds a nice depth to the early recordings. I've played the CD in my car every day since it arrived.

Olivia E. ★★★★★

Hearing Lou’s pre-Velvet Underground demos on the bonus 7-inch is a raw, intimate experience that every fan needs. The CD makes it easy to listen in the car, and the deluxe packaging feels like a true archival treasure.

Andrew H. ★★★★★

The packaging is gorgeous, and having that original May 1965 demo on the bonus 7-inch makes this feel like a real piece of history. The vinyl pressing is dead quiet, so the raw tape hiss and Lou's early vocals come through exactly as they should.
