Lou Reed remixed and reissued

A remixed version of an early demo of Lou Reed's 'Satellite of Love' will be released as a single in the UK on July 19.

The version of 'Satellite of Love' was recorded with Lou's band Velvet Underground on June 16, 1972. The studio recording of the song came out on his solo album Transformer released in 1973.

'Satellite of Love 2004' will be released as a 4 track CD and a 3 track 12" through NuLife Records. According to the NuLife website "The track is a remix of the Lou Reed original. Born out of an idea from South Coast production team Groovefinder, the track was finally brought to life by London remix collective Dab Hands. The remixes were crafted from the original multi-track recording of the song, which also feature backing vocals from David Bowie. Approval for the release was given after a keen record exec sent the track to Lou Reed, who gave it the thumbs up for a full commercial release".

The song has never been issued as a single before.

The Transformer album also featured 'Walk On The Wild Side' and 'Perfect Day'.
