Genuine or fake?

Whatever the adjective, "under the Velvet Underground name" seems more informative for the introductory sentence about an album that does not feature Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison or Maureen Tucker, i.e. not a single original member of the band.

Unless a reader is "in the know", I don't see how the phrase "released under the Velvet Underground name" is any more informative than "by the Velvet Underground". On the other hand, it seems to run counter to almost all other articles about records.

Why don't we take advantage of the second sentence to say that none of the "original" line-up took part in recording Squeeze. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 19:17, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not only does it feature no original members (which I agree could be spelt out more clearly), but only one of the then line-up took part in it. That's why 'under the VU name', though alas more wordy, is more accurate. Rothorpe (talk) 21:22, 20 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's a good point. I hadn't thought of it like that before. Maybe you're right. — Malik Shabazz ^Talk/_Stalk 05:57, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just noting that I've rewritten the article's lead, and also merged the "Notes" and "References" sections. I think the phrasing "features none of the original members" is good enough. Should the reader still not understand what that means, then the rest of the intro will do.
By the way, I feel obliged to point out that many of the article's sources do not seem to meet the reliability treshold. The text is in itself coherent and well-written, though, and as I'm trying to improve content rather then destroying it, I won't cut out anything. Still, if we really want the article to strictly adhere to the rules, the refs should be replaced by others. Cheers, theFace 17:00, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
