    It's very very very very very very sad the multitracks got erased from those Verve jerks... The first three albums got erased from Verve for spared tape... It's amazing the 4th NOW released LP got away and was remixed TWICE. IS THERE ACTUALLY A LP I don't know about a CD cause I think I have all those ... BUT A LP THAT HAS BEST CLEAREST SOUND OF THIS RECORDING. PROBABLY NOT I'm GUESSING. AND THAT GOES FOR THE FIRST AS WELL... WHERE ARE THE MULTI TRACK TAPES... IN JOHN CALE'S BASEMENT.

      Should this no read "Not skull cover"? There is no skull tattoo on this pressing.
