just heard about this on the radio...
Current bid:
$110,700.00http://cgi.ebay.com/VELVET-UNDER…
In September of 2002 Warren Hill of Montreal Canada was perusing a box of records at a Chelsea, New York street sale when he happened upon a nice Leadbelly 10" on Folkways, a water damaged copy of the first Modern Lovers LP on Beserkely, and a brittle 12" piece of acetone-covered aluminum with the words "Velvet Underground. 4-25-66. Att N. Dolph" written on the label. He purchased the three records for 75 cents each.

Its fun looking at the list of bidders here. For example, this person: http://myworld.ebay.com/myfriend…
bid $110,600 but with a name like My Friend Goo, and having made purchases like womens shoes, it makes me think its Kim Gordon. It's fun to speculate.
- Rand0
is Kim Gordon that rich?
- version30
take a loan out for it and lease it to museums. have it go on tour. the things an investment
then, to license the recording of its content would be more potential profit
it's even cult classic-ish. nice little rarity
- Mimio0
I don't think you can release a recording if you just have a master or copy. It's purely collectable.
- fortified0
Well I think not only is Kim Gordon that rich, but also who ever buys this thing is doing it as an investment.
You'll likely see the buyer release this LP to cd and sell it. So being a VU geek myself, I'd certainly buy a release of new/alt material.
- material-10
records + attic = oh uh
- Rand0
it's ventilated

(Dec 4 06, 14:02)haha yeah i missed that... and yeah i wouldn't be at all surprised if she was bidding.
SY have a lot of albums under their belt, i'm sure she's got that kinda $$$ to spend on a collectible like this.
- Mimio0
Probably David Geffen bidding through someone else.
- Rand0
yeah, what the hell, he's unloaded 300 million worth of paintings in the last few months--he should have some left over after he buys the LA Times
