Thinking back I was probably interested in Reed because he had Alice Coopers band playing with him, so I probably thought he was ripping off Black JuJu

This was my first VU lp, another bargain bin cheapie

my mate had this gem

brown & pink , lovely

also remember a record with a huge mgm Logo on tghe front, strange how none of them feature The Velvet Underground as the lead title

Roxy-that's a whole new thread, possibly a bigger influnce in Britain than the VU, looking back to 76 to 84 nearly everyband has a Roxy influence, especially if you count Eno solo as a Roxy link
