    You ought to get your facts right. Sterling Morisson did not play the keyboards, it was John Cale who was the multi- instrumentalist, he played apart from the keys, also bass and viola. What do you think who created that manic organ sound on Sister Ray? Cale was mainly responsible for the Velvets groundbreaking sound. So it wasn't just Reed's band!
