Velvet Underground's 3rd album reviewed in The Observer, 1969. It wasn't a good one.

I have a new album ready.

‘Down to the Marshes’ is a great leap forward for me. It's launched on Weds 14 Aug as part of the ‘Legends of Indie’ week at The Lexington, London. Very special guests are extremely likely.

I loved working with Lindsay as her editor on this special book - it’s full of heart, & ghosts: the process at times felt like spirit communication: there was something powerful about her reconsideration of old letters, responding 2them thru time. See you in Manc for the launch!

Absolutely thrilled to see a finished copy of this. Years in the making! Thanks to Cherry Red Records for making it happen. First UK issue for 3 of the albums, plus various 45s, and a whole unreleased album to boot. Bargain. cherryred.co.uk/barry-ryan-the…

Hugely enjoying the new BMX Bandits LP, Dreamers on the Run. Wonderful, magical stuff and you'd be doing yourself a massive favour to your soul by picking up a copy too
