OK Everyone...

If Squeeze were released on CD, whether released under the name "Doug Yule" or "The Velvet Underground", would you buy it?

Yeah, I think probably so. Never heard it, always been curious. Most seem to think that if you disassociate it from The Velvets and take it on it's own terms, it's a pleasant little record.

It'll never happen, though. You know, too bad they couldn't have included it in Final VU. Never got that one either.

Yes, I have a copy of it (downloaded, of course) but I don't think I'd buy it. I have it more as a curiosity than anything else. I'd say it's only an OK bunch of songs. Not bad, but nothing outstanding either.

I'd probably buy it, though I wouldn't mind one of those burned copies that are floating around on Ebay. I'd like to hear more from Doug anyway.

No.

I have it on vinyl so I wouldn't buy it again, but I do kind of like it.
It's very short! Maybe some extras would convince me.

I might, but would actually be turned off more if it was labeled as a velvets album.

Depends who was actully getting the money I spent on it!!

I would buy it...I've not heard it and have decided already that I would hate it but I'd still like to give it a chance as a record even though it has no chance at all as a Velvet Underground record.

The poll should have "maybe" as a 3rd option. I've had the vinyl for a long time and I've probably played it twice. But then if the CD had lots of extras and nice packaging, then maybe... Of course, it'll never happen.

No. I don't even think I'd download it.
