Here's a link to a different and downloadable version of the first Velvet Underground album, known as the 'acetate version' and supposedly discovered in a second-hand record store..
Download from here, before it gets taken down - the sound has been cleaned up a bit but there are still 'authentic' scratches from the damaged disc - http://returntotaste.multiply.com/music/item/58
======
A legal world music download site?
Right on and politically correct mp3s?
Apparently so.

Kieran Hebden and Steve Reid
Kieran Hebden is also known as Fourtet, and we've played his discs on Blowin before.
Steve Reid made his recording debut in 1964, aged 19, playing on Martha and the Vandella's 'Dancing in the Street'.
He went on to play with Miles Davis, James Brown, and Chaka Khan.
In the late 60s he spent three years in west Africa, where he studied African rhythms and played with Fela Kuti.
This week we play a single from their forthcoming long player.

- GOIN' DOWN SLOW
(James B. Oden)
(spoken:)
Man...
You know I've been enjoyin' things that kings and queens will never have!
In fact kings and queens can never get 'm.
And they don't even know about it!
And good times? Mmmmmmmmm-mmh!!
(sung:)
I have had my fun, if I never get well no more
Oh my health is fadin' on me, oh yes I'm goin' down slow
(spoken:)
Now looka here...
I did not say I was a millionaire...
But I said I have spent more money than a millionaire!
Cause if I had kept all my money that I'd already spent,
I would've been a millionaire a looong time ago...
And women? Great Googlie-Mooglie!!
(sung:)
Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me, forgive me for my sin
