Description

Lou Reed - Blondes Have More Fun  Australian Sweetbread Bum 001.
Original First Press issue in color sleeve.

MINT UNPLAYED AS NEW CONDITION, BOTH VINYL & SLEEVE. 

Extremely rare GENUINE original first pressing in stunning as new condition.  Definitely one of the scarcer Lou titles from the era.

This is the original issue from Sweet Bread came out in Australia, in 1975, released a year after the show. All other versions/pressings are copies of this.

Recorded at a Sydney, Australia show on either August 21 or 25, 1974,  Blondes Have More Fun is a live LP that came out on various underground labels in the '70s. After coming out on Sweet Bread Records, Blondes Have More Fun was reissued by Wizardo a few years later. Unfortunately, the Wizardo version is problematic in a number of respects: Wizardo doesn't tell you when or where the album was recorded and the songs aren't listed in their correct order. As the  superior Sweet Bread version (which features a deluxe color cover) was near impossible to find, many collectors had to settle for the inferior Wizardo version. Whether Reed is turning his attention to solo favorites like "Walk on the Wild Side," "Vicious," and "Sally Can't Dance," or Velvet Underground classics such as "I'm Waiting for the Man" and "Heroin," Blondes Have More Fun is an LP that collectors made a point of searching for in the '70s.

This recording is a great sounding record of Lou's shows during the summer 1974.

Lou performed shows at this time with bleached blond hair, dark sunglasses and usually wearing a black T-shirt and black jeans.

He was at the top of his game at this time, and the shows were superb.

The sound fidelity on this recording is excellent, and although it is a short show, it is a complete performance.

Side 1: Waiting For The Man / Sally Can't Dance / Vicious / Lady Day
Side 2: Heroin / Walk On The Wild Side / White Light/White Heat / Goodnight Ladies

Recorded live at the Hordern Pavillion, Sydney, Australia, August, 21th, 1974
