Poucos fãs poderão comprar a luxuosa reedição do disco homônimo do Velvet Underground de 1969 que será lançada no próximo dia 24. Sabendo disso, a banda divulgou uma faixa que estará nesse material tomando uma iniciativa que ao mesmo tempo instiga o fã a querer ter o álbum todo e serve de consolo para a maioria que sabe que não irá compra-lo.
O lançamento de agora é uma versão ao vivo da faixa “I’m waiting for the man”, clássico do disco de estreia da banda, The Velvet Underground and Nico (1967). O registro divulgado foi feito em um show de novembro de 1969, no The Matrix, em São Francisco. Ouça:
Na verdade, a gravação desse show já havia sido lançada em 1974 no disco duplo 1969: The Velvet Underground Live, porém a nova mixagem apresenta um som realmente melhor. Muito mais limpo e com menos chiados. Ouça abaixo pra comparar, “I’m waiting for the man” é a primeira do disco:
E além de ter um som melhor, a reedição comemorativa dos 45 anos de The Velvet Undergound tem todo um trabalho gráfico que a deixou bem bonita. Até dá vontade de encomendar a versão super deluxe com 6 CDs. Veja abaixo a quantidade de músicas que vem nele:
