They created a 180-gram vinyl edition employing an original 1960s-era Studer C37 tape machine and a Scully Lathe (the same model employed by jazz record engineering god Rudy Van Gelder)

It’s a record that possesses all the spunk and gusto of a young band hurtling forward yet also knowing when to take their foot off the accelerator

Cale was ultimately fired from the band in 1968 due to escalating tensions between himself and Reed

‰Û÷Tied To A Star‰۪ also features guest appearances from musicians Ken Maiuri (Young@Heart Chorus)
