Rare Musical Find Up For Auction
Jamie Kohns on December 8th, 2006
Warren Hill found one of those one-in-a-million yard sale deals: an exceptionally rare pressing of The Velvet Underground's first record. He is currently auctioning off the rare find on eBay.
From the ebay auction page:
"…this was probably a surviving copy of the legendary Scepter studios recordings which had been regarded as lost (hence the epic moniker "the lost scepter studios recordings" applied to these unheard sessions over the years). The recording is comprised of the primitive first "finished" version of the LP that Andy Warhol had shopped to Columbia as a ready-to-release debut album by his protege collective 'The Velvet Underground'."
Current bids are up to $155,000. Hill paid just $0.75 at a yard sale for it!
