Doug Snyder: "The best known boot is Velvet Underground 1966, which was put out by Bernd Baierschmidt. The LP had 'Melody Laughter' on one side, and 'The Nothing Song' on the other - but were just called "Side One" and "Side Two". Bernd's girlfriend was the mysterious cover girl. Bernd died as the result of a motorcycle crash a couple years later, so I can tell this about him. He had been the one to see the Velvets before the rest of us - probably before anyone else in Ohio, and for years was the cultural arbiter of Cincinnati from his perch at Kidd's Books. (...) A few months after the EPI came to Ohio, Bernd Baierschmidt and Dick Felton took the Valleydale tape to New York. They called the Factory and asked for Andy. The voice said, "This Is Andy." They took Andy Warhol the tape, and he made a copy."

John Cale: "We worked a huge place in Columbus, Ohio, filled with people drinking and talking. We tuned up for about ten minutes, tuning, fa-da-da, up, da-da-da down. There's a tape of it. Played a whole set to no applause, just silences."
