[negetivekreep]

Post punk...way before punk.

[MowgliX]

@negetivekreep I love this song, like everyone else here I suppose. You know, there were quite a few great underground bands in the US that few people remember now, garage bands. And Iggy & the Stooges of course. Punk rock, as it was called later in the 1970s, was really born in the1960s.

[BellePhoenixMuzik]

I'm a big fan of this song! xxxxxoooooxxx ... and all that

[rockchick80s]

rockchick80s. Andy Warhol painted it, he painted wierd shit in the 50s/60s/70s/80s, that was just his "thing", you know.

[moLeOnPoT]

the best rock song ever, hands down.

[matt7777777]

@SteveO092088

an acetate version of the velvet underground and nico was leaked a few years ago. You can probably find the whole album on a torrent.

[Timmybear]

There was/is a cd/lp called UNRIPENED from about a year ago - how available it is, I don't know - I have a copy (on vinyl).

[jesselakerr]

man i love this version better than the original version

[johnwaynesfoot]

Er, this is the original version...check the info in the info box:

"from 4-25-66 original acetate released as Unripened bootleg this song was re-recorded by Tom Wilson for the album "

[mzkorox]

Great song frm the greatest band..1966..(ahead of its time..)..

[roberto20roberto]

Se grabo en 8 horas y costo 2000 Dolares.Las letras hablan de sexo y drogas.Datos de una revista.

[kmylo4]

alguien pregunto??

[jaroussky1]

great band and song!! I have heard this song covered by Uk Subs , but they really destroy the song. I like their version also but it is a totally different from the original. Velvet Underground made true revolution in music and art as a whole...

[SirWoodstock87]

You should hear the bowie's version, it's so cool and reflects so well the message of the warhol's favorite band.

[SOMOGYI8230]

What a treat to hear the raw version. At the same time it makes me realize that Tom Wilson contributed a lot in making the Velvet Underground the very most influential band in the world. He did a great job re-recording the track.

Great is not the appropriate word, considering he also produced the deftly pioneering second album, which I consider to be the ultimate masterpiece of al time and space.

[miroesse]

somehow more nature than the later version. may be immature. but beatiful. thanks for uploading this.
