Re: (TV) Well, how about that?



    The only LP I might have questions about is Van's "Astral Weeks". Not in
it's brilliance but in it's being a British album. Unfortunately I do not
have a copy in stock at the moment, but wasn't the LP recorded in Woodstock
or am I thinking of Moondance & Tupelo Honey? As much as Lou Reed is a New
York artist I think of his 1st solo LP, Transformer, and Berlin as British
LPs. They were done with British musicians and in British studios. The same
with Hendrix's "Are You Experienced". Anyone else agree with this sort of
logic? M T C
