Hey kids – it’s time to go through your records. An original Velvet Underground acetate, masquerading as a humble LP, just went for $155,401 on ebay.
What did the owners do? “I immediately took the needle off the record, and realized that we had something special,” Isaacson wrote. Then they “photographed the album, made a digital backup copy of the music, and decided to put it up for auction.” Not sure how one makes a backup digital copy without playing the record. But anyway.
Fonzie, baby. The Fonzarelli slide. All that and more in my collection. Aaaaaayyyyyy.
