Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Not sure I'd call it enjoyable. It's biggest problem is that it's filed under The Velvet Underground. If it were under the name Doug Yule, it wouldn't have that association to live up to (and clearly fail). Otherwise, it's pretty ho-hum, workmanlike early 70s rock.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Just a nice little album to me. I couldn't care less who's name it goes under. I don't think Yule had much choice anyhow. My fave VU album is Loaded and this is much closer to that album's feel than the debut. Each to their own poison of course I play it often.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Feb 2019, 11:23amNot sure I'd call it enjoyable. It's biggest problem is that it's filed under The Velvet Underground.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
As I understand it, Yule didn't have a choice—release it under the VU brand or not at all. Which invited accusations from critics and consumers that he was a parasite.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
Yes that is my understanding also. He got ripped off by the manager for his efforts. I don't think of it as a VU album at all. I do genuinely enjoy it in a harmless way.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑06 Feb 2019, 12:13pmAs I understand it, Yule didn't have a choice—release it under the VU brand or not at all.

I listen to his demos almost as much if not more than I listen to the Who versions, I just don't like Daltry's voice

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I think that's common to most Velvets fans. I am more pop orientated in what I prefer so Loaded is always my go to VU album.

My go-to's are the self-titled third album and the sort-of fourth album VU.Marky Dread wrote: ↑07 Feb 2019, 10:11amI think that's common to most Velvets fans.

Re: What Are you Listening to Right Now?
I do like that "almost" fourth album, I've made a comp of the 1969 songs along with the few from Loaded that I like and it's really one of my fav's to listen to.
