Lou Reed’s Estate Selling Off a Lot of His Gear on eBay
This appeared on Lou’s Facebook page:
Lou Reed eBay Auction:
Over the past thirty years Lou Reed amassed a large collection of equipment in support of his many tours. While all of his most important guitars, amps, and effects will be kept by Sister Ray Enterprises for his archive, there are many pieces of musical gear and road cases that need to be sold. Over the next few weeks these items will be auctioned through eBay. The proceeds will go towards the work that is underway to develop the Lou Reed Archive.
Please support this effort by checking our eBay page. New items will be posted every few days. A wide variety of items will be available. All of these items were kept at Sister Ray Enterprises and were used by Lou and his band on tour. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to own a piece of music history.
If you live in or around NYC, we’ll be listing select items for local pickup before they go up on eBay. You can sign up to receive these listings here.
I did a bit of browsing and although I have no professional use for most of this gear, it would be kinda cool to have some Lou’s stuff in the house for a keepsake, you know? For example, how many times was “Satellite of Love” played on this keyboard?
