One of Reed's sore points resulting from that unauthorized re-editing was that the "heavenly wine and roses" section was cut out of " Sweet Jane". After its release, Reed maintained in interviews that it had been re-edited and resequenced without his consent. He left the Velvet Underground on August 23, 1970, but Loaded was not released until November. Reed was critical of the album's final mix. And I think that the third album to a great extent shows a lot of that in that a lot of those songs were designed as singles and if you listen to them you can hear the derivation, like this is sort of a Phil Spector-ish kind of song, or this is that type of person song." Singer/bassist Doug Yule said, "On Loaded there was a big push to produce a hit single, there was that mentality, which one of these is a single, how does it sound when we cut it down to 3.5 minutes, so that was a major topic for the group at that point. Loaded was a commercial effort aimed at radio play, and the album's title refers to Atlantic's request that the band produce an album "loaded with hits", with a double meaning about the word "loaded", that can also mean "full of drugs" or "really high on drugs". It has retrospectively gained positive reception Loaded was ranked number 110 in 2012, and ranked number 242 in 2020, on Rolling Stone 's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. For this reason, it is often considered by fans to be the "last" Velvet Underground album. Other founding members Sterling Morrison and Maureen Tucker would leave in 1971. It was the final album recorded featuring founding member and main songwriter Lou Reed, who left shortly before its release. Despite having a number of singles originate from it, the album itself failed to chart. Loaded is the fourth studio album by American rock band The Velvet Underground, released in November 1970 by Atlantic Records' subsidiary label Cotillion. "Head Held High" / "Train Round the Bend"."Who Loves the Sun" / "Oh! Sweet Nuthin'".
