Squeeze - the album that made me realise that collecting every album by anyone that had ever played with The Velvet Underground was not a rational exercise. I still didn't stop for a few years but at least I knew I was a lunatic.

Wow. Now I know why Reed disparaged Doug Yule for so many years. This in no way measures up to any of the Velvets' work. I can see why the label pulled this after 20 minutes. Doug Yule may have been a decent musician, but on his own, writing his owm material, I don't think so. I sorta was hoping for some illumination, but not this time. Probably the fact that he called this a "Velvet Underground" album is what put him on Louie's shit list.

Thanks for the Squeeze link. Now I can finally put Dopey Joe on my iPod!
