This was Lou Reed's attempt at writing a hit for the Velvet Underground, who were highly influential, but commercially doomed. \"Loaded\" was the band's last album, and the title was a reference to the record company mandate that the album be \"Loaded with hits.\"\n\nThere was a great deal of acrimony during recording of the album, and Reed left before it was finished. In his absence, \"Sweet Jane\" was edited down, with a wistful coda removed from the song. This angered Reed, who told Rolling Stone magazine that if he knew they were going to press on with the album, \"I would have stayed with them and showed them what to do.\" The full version of the song can be heard on the album \"Live at Max's Kansas City,\" recorded in 1969.","location":1,"location_name":"Default","play_type":"trackplay"}
