Sealed 1981 Reissue Of This Legendary Live Recording. “This Velvet Underground Bootleg LP Was Originally Recorded During An Exploding Plastic Inevitable Show At The Valleydale Ballroom In Columbus, Ohio, On November 4, 1966. Although The Velvet Underground Performed Two Sets At Valleydale, This LP Consists Of Only The First And Last Pieces Played, "Melody Laughter," And "The Nothing Song." The Original, Deliberately Minimal Package Did Not Identify The Songs By Title. This Bootleg Was Issued By Cincinnati Record Store Manager Bernd Baierschmidt, Who Had Attended The Original Velvets Gig At The Valleydale, In Addition To The One Held At The Topper Club In Cincinnati The Night Before. Most Sources Credit Dick Felton As The Original Recording Engineer. Baierschmidt Was In Possession Of A Reel-To-Reel Copy Of The Entire Show, But Selected The Two Longest Pieces In The Set, As He Felt That They Represented An Important Side Of The Velvet Underground Then Unrepresented On Record -- Their Legendary, Long, In-Concert Improvisations. Nico Was Still In The Group At This Early Stage Of The Velvets' History, And Contributes Eerie, Wordless Vocals To The Noisy Proceedings, Dominated By Feedback Solos, Droning Guitars, And Tribal Drumming From Maureen Tucker..” – Uncle Dave Lewis
