The Lou Reed archives are releasing some of the artist's earliest works this week.
As part of the new archival series the label 'Light in the Attic' and Reed's widow, Laurie Anderson are releasing the album Words & Music, May 1965 on September 17th.
Last month a song off the album was released as a single, titled 'Men of Good Fortune'.
Listen to that below.
Lou Reed released a song called 'Men of Good Fortune' on his 1973 album 'Berlin', but this new single has a different, folkier, sound and completely different lyrics.
The 'Words & Music' album consists of songs Lou made in 1965 with future Velvet Underground bandmate John Cale.
The description in the YouTube video of the single goes into more detail about the upcoming album.
"'I'm Waiting for the Man', 'Heroin', 'Pale Blue Eyes' - In May of 1965, Lou Reed, with the help of future bandmate John Cale, recorded the very first known versions of these iconic songs along with a handful of others and mailed the tape to himself as a 'poor man's copyright," it reads.
"The tape remained sealed in its original and unopened for nearly 50 years - entirely unheard and forgotten, until now."
All three of the songs listed in the description were released as Velvet Underground songs, Lou Reed's band that received little recognition when they were first releasing music in the '60s, but are now seen as one of the most influential bands of all time.
Their album 'The Velvet Underground and Nico' placed at number 23 on Rolling Stone's 500 best album list.
In their description of the album they say that it only sold 30,000 copies in the first five years after it was released, but "amongst those 30,000 was a young musician named David Jones, later to be known as David Bowie.
