its difficult for me to even begin to see the velvets as the same band after cale left.
with the exception of a few songs, the cale velvets were extremely experimental, raw and just amazing. the post cale velvets made some lovely songs and should be seen as a great band in their own right.
maybe you will love both, maybe you will prefer one to the other, but they are very different. just buy all the albums. or buy one and download the rest, cuz even the most harcore music pirate would shudder at the thought of not buying all of those classics.......excpet maybe loaded.
