An odd choice this one. Not one of the original Velvets albums but a compilation of the best of their first three LPs. Ellen Willis's article about it and them is dense and overlong but does make some interesting and valid points:
'The Velvets were the first important Rock and Roll artists who had no real chance of attracting a mass audience...... (their) music was too overtly intellectual, stylized, and distanced to be commercial.'
