Another point of VU Vol. 4 – VU covers- Various Artists
First thanks to all the guys who helped me (Mark and the others..), who made artworks etc…
I already can tell a Vol.5 will be available with some gems!
Lou reed, John Cale or Nico are not included for the moment…( I think i’m gonna make a special one with only covers AFTER the VU, in their solo careers..) .
You can also find on this site a show with VU covers by a group called Foggy Notion.
Well, I’ve done nothing to the tracks except some little things with Cool Edit ( removing gaps here and there, fading out…).
I’ve tried to do the best I could.
I’ve included the origin of each track and the sound quality when I knew it.
No artwork available of course!
All tracks have been found , uploaded and allowed on Dime or archive.org
A lot of new bands or artists, some new covers too…
Some bands or artists are not very well known (even by me!) but I think they deserve to be heard and their covers smell like VU spirit!

– The Joy Dvision cover is NOT the “Still” cover and has been found on Dime.
