A superb career-spanning collection from the inimitable Moe Tucker.

The unmistakable beat of the Velvet Underground was malleted out on the unconventional kit of Moe Tucker. Her (at times) childlike, fallen angelic voice also shines on some VU fan favorites. Here Moe reinterprets some Velvet gems, sometimes playing all instruments, other times accompanied by the likes of Jonathan Richman, Jad Fair, Kim Gordon and more. In addition to VU faves, were treated to rough and jubilant covers of her favorite early rock &amp; roll hits, and memorial odes to Sterling Morrison and Andy Warhol, all stuck in a Warholian package with removable sticker and liners by David Fricke!Strength, beauty, truth: those words perfectly describe Tucker's crucial role in the Velvets historic fray, across their first three studio albums: 1967's The Velvet Underground and Nico, 1968s White Light/White Heat and the electrifying restraint of The Velvet Underground. 'After Hours' was Tucker's only starring role in the Velvet's original lifetime, but her clockwork drumming and loyalty to those ideals were constants in the noisy and emotionally direct music Tucker made in her second, improbable career as a solo artist: particularly the nine tracks that comprise this unique introduction, selected from a dozen releases across two decades. There are 1980 home-recorded versions of Chuck Berry's 'Around and Around' and the Shirelles' 'Will You Love Me Tomorrow?' with Tucker playing all of the instruments, a charming duet with Jonathan Richman of the Modern Lovers on 'I'm Sticking With You, iconic Velvets songs with instrumental support by Reed and original bassist-viola player John Cale, and the memorial ode 'Andy', a chant-like eulogy with liquid-jangle guitar named after the pop artist who produced, managed and mentored the Velvets from 1966 to 1968. This collection ends with another memorial: 'Last Night', written by Tucker and recorded in 1998 as he farewell to Sterling Morrison who died in 1995.
