Lou Reed at his best .... Ahem, yeah.... rumour has it that he was pissed off with his record company and they wanted another ablum and Lou couldn't be bothered and not one to be pressured, he proceded to set up guitars and amps in his loft, cranked them up to 11 and kicked all the guitars around and then left the room for a couple of hours??.... so the story goes, the liner notes read othewise??...
