LA RECENSIONE
Norman Dolph is credited in some editions of the banana album as one of the people responsible at the mixer. In reality, he was the one who provided the technical means for the Velvet Underground to record their songs to present to the heads of Columbia.
Here are different mixes and alternative takes of the songs that make up the masterpiece: a 9-minute European Son, a Venus in Furs which I think is even better than the one released on the album, and above all, there's the sound of the Velvet Underground with that background noise which is what I like the most, even though I don't know why.
Nothing else to add except that it’s an absolute gem.
