Four million copies sold

Radio-friendly Version 2.0 is a
seamless continuation of what

hooks, lots of big buzzing

There are lots of bootlegs of Lou live out there — decades
worth in fact, bur here’s a velvety fabei-sanctioned session with
a musician who has become a reference point for several new

* generations of musicians.

By naw he’s got a ton of material to choose from so the set
list gets down to the calor of the mood of the moment.

This session was recorded live at The Meltdown Festival in
the Royal Festival Hall in London during July of last year.

The set churns through some of his betcer momeiits with a
slow-burning in’ — Vicious, Busload of Faith, New
Sensations and Dirty Blvd, stand out particularly in this pack-
age.

T think we would surely miss him if he disappeared into the
divine.

Rip it open on the parkway baby.

THE new Jeff Buckiey double-

CD, Sketches (For My Sweetheart,

The Drunk), is set for release in

North America next Tuesday.

Friday, May 29 marks the first

anniversary of the musician’s :

death by drowning in Memphis. .§
The posthumous Columbia collec-

tion features 10 tracks made with

Television’s Tom Verlaine, including a

song called Vancouver, and a second set
of demos Buckley worked on with

“Grace producer Andy Wallace. He was

reportedly unhappy with the Verlaine
sessions and was beginning again with
Wallace when he died last summer.
According to the May issue of
Britain’s ‘Uncae magazine (where
Sketches came out on the 5th) “Had he
