Lou Reed: "I'm So Free: The 1971 RCA Demos" for Record Store Day

On December 24 last year 17 acoustic Lou Reed tracks popped on various digital outlets (as inferior AAC 256 kbps files). They disappeared shortly after that - just another Sony scheme to secure the copyright. I'm So Free: The 1971 RCA Demos now gets the vinyl treatment for Record Store Day (April 23). It is not the full set - Hangin' Around (Take 2), Love Makes You Feel (Take 2), I Can't Stand It and Walk It And Talk It did not make the cut. Still, it is nice to have Lou working through these songs, instructing the engineer to "fade" as a song is nearing the end. 7550 copies worldwide.

Side A:
1. Perfect Day – Takes 1 & 2 / 2. I'm So Free / 3. Wild Child / 4. I'm Sticking with You - Take 2 / 5. Lisa Says / 6. Going Down – Take 2 / 7. I Love You

Side B:
1. New York Telephone Conversation / 2. She's My Best Friend / 3. Kill Your Sons / 4. Berlin / 5. Ocean - Takes 1 & 2 / 6. Ride Into the Sun - Take 2
