Description

The All Night Workers – Don't Put All Your Eggs In One Basket / Why Don't You Smile this is a pristine copy of an early Lou Reed and John Cale collaboration prior to The Velvet Underground. The record is in excellent condition. Sounds fantastic, free from scratches and smudges.


http://www.loureed.com/: "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."
