@Kurbisa Luna's version is a 'B' side, or whatever you wanna call it, on the Slide EP. Other than that, I have no opinion whatsoever, and haven't seen the previous comments. I like Lou Reed / The Velvets / Luna equally.
Oh, for fuck's sake!!! The real original version was recorded for Reed's debut album, the Velvets have only a demo version. Plus, Reed's version's way faster than this.
Velvet Underground never actually completed the song. There's an instrumental on the "Another View" album released long after they disbanded, and a rough demo w/ lyrics recorded around the time of "Loaded" (it's on the deluxe version of that album). Luna did a great job fusing these two versions together, but that's not to take anything away from the band that wrote it and originally created the music.
@Hamsaouahamsine hmmmmmmmmmm.. i love that one, but there's this live twelve minute version V.U. did that's just devastatingly gorgeous. That one is my favorite.
About 8 different versions by the velvets if you collect em all. Dean melded them all together to make this superb rendering, kind of like a greatest hits version.
Ooops. And I didn't even read your comment right. For fuck's sake!!

try the original VU version(s). This feels like a 'b'.

In my view, Lunas studio version of Ride into the sun (on Slide EP, 1993) is by far better than any by the velvet underground.
