Yeah! That is a classic record. The lucky buyer told the press that it has different versions of songs from before the album was completed, for a different overall flavor--original instrumental and lyrical phrases.
That is a great album. Believing the Velvet Underground recorded it in 1966 is hard. It is the best album I know off to come out of the USA in that entire decade. It is very inspiring to hear knowing that it remains quite avant-garde and is also a great look into street life that seems to remain relevant even forty years later. For those with an interest in cultural hero Andy Warhol, it is a special treat to find out that he was managing the Velvet Underground band. For those who discover Lou Reed, it is a surprise to find out that this is distinct from anything else but hearing him as an unknown is wonderful. I would say check out the Velvet Underground!

nope, and apparently nobody else either
"By around 11:30 p.m. ET Friday, the auction's closing, the winning bid seemed to be $155,401 (U.S.) from a buyer called "mechadaddy" apparently living in the Los Angeles area. On the weekend Saturn received an e-mail from the supposed winner who said a friend, unbeknownst to him, had, as a lark, bid on the acetate using his (the supposed winner's) computer at work and account number. "Ohmigod, I'm so sorry," the e-mail read in part. "I can barely afford gas for my car" let alone more than $150,000 for a 40-year-old disc of acetone-covered aluminum.
Asked what's next for the acetate, Hill said "there's a couple of different things that might happen," but he refused to specify what they are. One possibility might be to find -- or at least try to find -- a legitimate under-bidder among the 200-plus individuals who posted offers online. Another might be to sell the acetate at a live auction, possibly at one of the more reputable record conventions in the U.S." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20061211.UNDERGROUND11/TPStory

I wouldn't pay $155,000+ for any album.......unless it comes with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, dining room, den, 2 car garage, and about 1/4. That sounds like about $155,000 worth.

No, because they were not really that good- mostly a New York thing.
