Ira knew Jack Smith and appeared in Jack Smith's Reefers of Technicolor Island.

Really nice to see this!

Jack Smith actually appears in this, as do Tony Conrad, Henry Flynt, Jackson Mac Low as well as Angus Maclise and his wife Hetty.

You should add a "Velvet Underground" tag to this. You'll get a lot more traffic.

This is very much like Jack Smith's work. I wonder if Ira knew him?

I'm pretty sure he did.
The person who made the soundtrack to Invasion is Angus Maclise, and he worked with Jack Smith.

Thanks for posting this with the information how to get the DVD too, jaybabcock
