here is the info file from Dime
Another point of VU Vol. 3 – VU covers- Various Artists
I thought It was NOT possible to make a Vol. 3 with VU covers…So I’m happy to share this new one with some gems inside! Thanks to the persons who helped me.Everyone can see better now the huge place the VU take in the rock’n roll history.
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 except Jesus found on archive.org
Two covers (very different) of Femme Fatale and two covers of Sweet jane!
