What do you make of
this ebay item? (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=020&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=300054910309&rd=1&rd=1)
Seems rather dubious to me, but I hope these versions get released at some point.

I read someone on the webternet that this dude made a digital copy. However, I doubt that will get released. It would be great to hear this though. I still kind of think he's a dick for not donating it to some form of museum, but Hell, $126,000, as of this post, is nice cash.

My swedish friend said he was listening to it yesterday. I guess it's already on filesharing networks.

The only songs that I thought sounded that different were Waiting For the Man and Heroin. The surface noise is too much for me. I'll stick with the VU & Nico for now.
-
I wonder if they augmented the surface noise for that recording much like when they put logos across a picture so that the value of the original is still there.
100k is possible if you are going to resell it, even then 100,000 VU fans?

There's something in the description about a less than listenable japanese bootleg being made years ago... Could the digital copy be from that source?
-
i thought this was only 3 tracks. i cleaned up the clicks and pops last yr using cool edit pro 2.

Personally, I think the ideal place for this would be in the Andy Warhol Museum within a room of his 60s Pop prints and VU music playing. After all, what's the disc alone in a museum without actually hearing anything?
I've never been there but it would be cool also to have a coffee bar near the cafeteria with aluminum foiled walls, couches like the one from the Factory, Warhol posters in a few strategic places and a few beaded curtains in doorways and windows and alcoves. Also, play VU music along with other Warhol era appropriate fare.

Were you outbid? You're in luck!
False $155K bid prompts re-auction of rare record (http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/14/vintagevelvet.ap/index.html)
NEW YORK (AP) -- The cyberspace saga of The Velvet Underground's 40-year-old first recording was to continue after fetching a false eBay bid of more than $155,000.
The vintage Velvet was to be auctioned online again starting Thursday afternoon. The original bid bit the dust earlier this month when a young man in California e-mailed the seller and confessed he doesn't have enough money to buy the rare recording.
"Seriously, I can barely afford gas for my car to get to work," reads part of the message the seller says he got via eBay.
Now I wish I hadn't dropped $75 at Tower yesterday. :D
