Loaded: Full Re-Loaded is a six-CD box set that includes the original album remastered in both stereo and mono; more than 20 demos, early versions and alternate mixes; a newly remastered/re-edited version of Live at Max's Kansas City; and a previously unreleased May 1970 concert recorded reel-to-reel by a fan in Philadelphia featuring Reed, Sterling Morrison and Doug Yule (Maureen Tucker was pregnant at the time). Enter for a chance to win the Loaded: Re-Loaded box set using the form below!
