I have seen Final VU online for around $30-$50. Not rare at all.

Actually, he sings quite a bit on American Flyer, my fave song being "Queen of All My Days." Alvin Taylor played drums. A.F. was just re-released, paired with their second LP in a 2cd set.

Doug released a solo CD in 2002 titled "Live In Seattle." Check out Olandem's VU page and it gives a link to order from. You can also check allmusic.com under Doug Yule and it might have a link as well.

uh - hiphopchipshop, thanks for the donation! - I lost your email address - I have a handy 1 CD comp of the best bits of the 71-73 box set, provided by another member of this forum - I can do you a copy of that as a taster.

Yes the live album is any good. No the American Flyer stuff isn't any good. Unless you're into soft rock, of course. I emailed the contact for the live cd about the song cycle stuff, but got no reply...

I got it from Sal Mercuri. This is what it says on Olivier's Doug page:
