El próximo 30 de octubre se publica una nueva edición de Loaded, el legendario disco de The Velvet Underground remasterizado con cuatro temas extra. El álbum original se lanzó en noviembre de 1970 y este año conmemora su 45 aniversario.

Fue el último trabajo de Lou Reed con el Velvet y el primero con Atlantic Records. El disco contiene un puñado de clásicos, canciones que pasaron a formar parte de la historia del rock como Who loves the sun, Sweet Jane, Rock and roll o Cool it down. La leyenda cuenta que Ahmet Ertegun, directivo de Atlantic, pidió a Lou Reed que aparcase las canciones sobre sexo y drogas y grabara un disco cargado de hits.

Paralelamente, el 30 de octubre también se publica una caja con seis discos y abundante material extra, entre ellos el disco original masterizado en mono y estéreo, una selección de maquetas y tomas alternativas, una nueva versión remasterizada y reeditada del directo Live at Max’s Kansas City y un concierto inédito de Mayo de 1970 grabado en Filadelfia, entre otros contenidos.

La rola aun no se encuentra disponible en esta región del mundo, por lo pronto escucha la versión original:
