Content[edit]
The five-track album was released for free by Mint 400 Records on 14 October 2014,[1] and showcases Tom Preisler of the Shelters, Neil Sabatino, the Maravines, Shane Vidaurri and Sink Tapes. On organizing a tribute record, Sabatino explains "if it wasn't for artists like Lou Reed with their unique voice, I doubt that myself and most of the artists on the Mint 400 Records roster would have the courage to try and sing in a band."[2] In a review from Jersey Beat, editor Jim Testa says "it's refreshing to see a tribute to Lou that doesn't pick the most obvious [Velvet Underground] hits but delves deeply into his amazing catalog, and all of these tracks do the man justice.[3]
