Another point of VU Vol. 7 – VU covers- Various Artists
First great thanks to all the guys who helped me sending tracks, making artworks etc… and particularly for this Volume and the following my old friend Valfred, the man who made me love that f****** music. I already can tell a vol. 8 and maybe a Vol.9 ( Only some tracks missing…help!) will be available soon 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 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! Note to the fans:I consider “Satellite of love” as a VU song because it features on the PSAS box set as a demo.
