Find out what it was all about by an insider. Essential for anyone who is a fan of VU.

Fun oral history with great photos, put together before the increase in interest in the band in the mid-eighties happened. The focus is squarely on the Exploding Plastic Inevitable/VU and Nico/White Light White Heat years, as it should be. Believe about 50% of it in total, perhaps 25% of what Lou Reed says, and maybe 5% of Steve Selsnick's quotes.
