The Velvet Underground - I Can't Stand It

D'oh. After checking out the last entry, a young fellow I work with sent me an IM which read, "I have no frame of reference - Velvet Underground was way before I was born. Can you post the original too?" A good (and all too obvious) idea actually: from now on, when I post a cover tune, I'll post the original for comparison (and spare myself the Old-Timer jokes.)

So here's the Velvet's studio version of I Can't Stand It from their VU compilation - it was recorded back in 1969 but not released officially until 1985. It does appear on some live albums from 1969 and a bootleg or two.
