The original version is from the album "Berlin", so... this is not the original version...

@888edward888

This is an album version. One of them anyway.

He recorded this song on two different albums using two different styles.

Its definitely not the album version.the album version has an special intro that this version doesnt and the lyrics are a bit different.

Ok, which "album" are you referring to?

The album titles "Lou Reed" by Lou Reed is the cd that i got this track off of.

Here is a link to where you can listen to a sample of it:

hildaatje ;Thank you so much for placing this version!!! I was looking for it for a long time now!As all true fans know;this is a different version,from a completely different album(Lou Reed)(ergo;not the Berlin version),but I prefer this one!

Hardly possible.....and still...........yep!

I,m right and you,re wrong......you know you,re gonna miss me now that I,m gone!

One sweet day............ (he knew what he was talking about!)

your all a bunch of disrespectful you punks. reed is a legend, his music changed the times. fuck all of you.

This is the original version 'cause it's from Lou Reed's first album (1972). He also did it at the Bataclan club in Paris for the acoustic gig with John Cale & Nico (recently released officially, it was a bootleg for decades). Then he did Transformer (November 1972), then Berlin (July 1973). So, even if this is not from the Berlin album & it has a different arrangement, it's still OBVIOUSLY the original version 'cause it was recorded almost 2 years before the Berlin album.

Thanks for the post

Someboy on the Metallia Lulu video told me to listen to this. My ears have now been raped further.

[apsinthion]

every comment is stating if this is or isnt the original,who cares its bloody shite. i only clicked it because he said the Metallica Colab album is a cross between berlin and master of puppets.. im so unhappy now :(

ok since i typed it all i heard the guitar work n thats pretty good but i really hate his voice he cant sing

[DJCodeep]

@kotomba Actually the original is from his 1972 album "Lou Reed" Which i believe is this.

[dummytree]

@addman27 Yeah - it's supposed to be a weak album because we now know the Velvet Underground versions of most of the songs, but I always thought it was a good album. And overlooked - how many people here had NO IDEA the first version of "Berlin" was this one and arguing, saying "this is not the original version"? Kind of pissed me off. lol

[XtremeCam]

@kotomba Actually this IS the original version. He recorded it on his self-titled solo debut and re-recorded it for Berlin. So you're wrong.

I love this version too. Less morose, a bit more hopeful.
