Or rather, he doesn’t but there are some tasty morsels of info, especially the Richman input and the Reed/Fields tapes

Why on Apple TV plus ? Is he trying to replicate the same amount of people who can watch this with the same amount of people who bought the first album?
I do hope it becomes more widely available.

After taking deep dives into the first two albums, “The Velvet Underground and Nico” and “White Light/White Heat,” the film moves more quickly through the quieter and less necessary third and fourth albums, “The Velvet Underground” and “Loaded.” It even implies that those later works could be sellouts of a sort, which shortchanges the sublime “Sweet Jane,” which may sound fairly mainstream but is also a damn classic.

If true, it also shortchanges the third album - my favorite, and as revolutionary/revelatory in its own way as the first two.

It should be shown in theatres (according to the RS article) but where, when, and if we'll even get to see it in UK cinemas remains to be seen.
