Reviews

MarkGrout Nov 19, 2021
Very strange, that apart from “Oh Sweet Nuthin’” he sings none of the songs he sang on the albums (Candy says, Lonesome cowboy bill, who loves the sun, etc)

Ok,this is a piece of curiosity,if you don't already know this is the Doug Yule version of the Velvet Underground. Sound is poor (bootlegs scale: C/D and I'm generous) throughout this box set, so it is a product only for really hardcore fans with large pockets full of money.
