1965 demo of Lou Reed's "Men Of Good Fortune" unveiled
A 1965 demo recording of Lou Reed's "Men Of Good Fortune" has been unveiled as the third preview of Words & Music, May 1965, the first title of the new Lou Reed archive series.
After sharing the previously unreleased demo versions of "Heroin" and "I'm Waiting for the Man", a third demo from the Words & Music, May 1965 album has been shared, and it's of his "Men Of Good Fortune" song.
This version of "Men Of Good Fortune" features completely different lyrics and music compared to the song of the same title that appeared on Reed's 1973 album Berlin.
Words & Music, May 1965 will be released to coincide with what would've been Reed's 80th birthday year, and is made up of a collection of previously unreleased recordings that a young Reed recorded to tape with help from John Cale. Reed mailed the recordings to himself to secure the copyright without filing official paperwork, and it remained sealed for nearly half a century.
