Been a minute since I listened to an informative-yet-rough unauthorized recording. God it brings me back. The Velvets, now more than ever, hit just right. I've caught myself singing just about every one of these songs since digesting and if that ain't a sign of impression and importance, well what is? Did any other band have a higher percentage of legit gem songs in their output? I mean, I'd argue the Beatles have more duds than the VU. Put it in writing.
