The Velvet Underground – Loaded (Clear Vinyl LP)

Alternate Loaded is a companion edition to The Velvet Underground's 1970 album Loaded, presenting early versions, demos and alternate mixes from the sessions rather than the standard album master. Released in 2024, it gives a different view of the band's final studio album with Lou Reed as a full-time member.

The ten-track sequence includes an alternate mix of Who Loves the Sun, an early version of Sweet Jane, a demo of Rock & Roll, a full-length version of New Age and an early version of Oh! Sweet Nuthin'. The recordings highlight how the songs developed before reaching their familiar final forms.

This edition is pressed on clear vinyl and issued as a single LP. Barcode 603497822638 identifies this Rhino Records release.

Supplied brand new and sealed.

Available from Heathen Records, your independent Australian online record store specialising in new and collectible vinyl.
