Greetings,
In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <https://www.furious.com/perfect/index0224.html>, you'll find (among other things):
VELVET UNDERGROUND
Oral history book excerpt- the band meets Warhol's Factory, by Dylan Jones
"According to Reed, Warhol presented Nico as an ultimatum: he would manage them, give them a place to rehearse (the Factory), finance their equipment, support them, find them a record deal, produce them, and make them famous. . . as long as they gave him 25 percent of their earnings, did what they were told, and put Nico in the band. Warhol didn't think Reed was a good enough frontman (he didn't think he was especially attractive, either). And so Reed and the band went along with it. He didn't really feel the group needed a chanteuse, but as long as they were able to use her sporadically, he reckoned it would be fine."
We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.
See you online,
Jason
