The early Warhol acetate (http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/40009/Owner_of_Velvet_Underground_Vinyl_Talks_eBay_Aucti )
Interesting. How would you like to find the first Velvets acetate on a sidewalk for seventy-five cents?
Current E-bay bid is almost $125k (US).
Some kind of release, though? I sorta doubt it, but who knows.
Allegedly, another acetate of the same session, belonging to Moe Tucker and featuring "significantly lesser sound quality" according to Hill, was included on a Japanese bootleg released several years ago. However, the authenticity of the recordings on that bootleg have not be confirmed. As far as Hill knows, the piece of vinyl being auctioned is the only copy in existence.
