That disc on the VU box always gets a bum rap. First, I *like*
hearing Cale singing "Waiting for the Man" in that weird, slow
arrangement. Second, once fans knew there was a 90-minute VU
rehearsal tape floating around out there, they HAD to release it, or
it would achieve mythic status. 

Plus, anyway you look at it, those demos are at least as enjoyable as
30 minutes of low-quality video footage of Tom trying, futilely, to
teach Richard Hell the bass line of "Venus"... and I have a funny
feeling a lot of us have seen that footage more than once.
