ALL NIGHT WORKERS Why Don't you Smile/Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket, Pre Velvet Underground Lou Reed John Cale. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
"After fronting many a rough-n-tumble Long Island and Syracuse bar band, Reed obtained his English degree from Syracuse University in 1964. Soon afterwards, Reed joined a team of pop songwriters at Pickwick records. This Long Island City record label churned out highly commercial, often camp pastiches of whatever pop style was currently the rage: surf, doo-wop, songs about motorcycles, automobiles, etc. Pickwick was loosely modeled on the mainstream Brill Building-pop ruling the airwaves at the time. During his brief stint at Pickwick, Reed was to have his first collaboration with future VU songwriting partner John Cale. Pickwick recruited Cale, along with select others, to form a touring band. "Why Don't You Smile Now" co-written by Cale and Reed, and recorded under the name The All-Night Workers, first appeared as a single in early 1965. " http://www.loureed.com/features/prevu/
Really great condition! This record has always been kept in a paper sleeve, always. There is a date handwritten on the label, it says 23 December 1965, in pencil.
