What academic use is there for this? Seriously, spending $10 billion on big science pork grants is more useful. The only thing you can learn from a record like this is like "Lou Reed changed something OMG!@!!!" Furthermore, there even fucking exists a bootleg of this!!!
Dude, what kind of argument is this? Oh wait, it's not -- it's just you attacking me for the hell of it.
I'm totally attacking you!!! But you're the one who thinks it is a good idea for some money starved institution in the public interest to waste its money on a meaningless piece of acetate.
Indie rocker, go home.

i wrote my senior thesis on tony conrad, and there was a lot of stuff (obv.) about the velvet underground in it. i got an a, my project advisor said that i did "original and important" work about the fusing of avant-garde art music to that of pop music, and how that changed the culture of each.

not much. for an institution like the warhol museum, though, it'd be about having the physical object as part of the collection, not necessarily for "study."

if it were in your hands, would YOU make a copy just for yourself before selling it?
and i'd surmise that the japanese bootleg is from a reel to reel, from a source very close to the original acetate, who only released it after the multiple hoo-hah about the acetate had reached a boiling point, to make a little $. just my guess though.

After establishing the authenticity of Warren's find we photographed the item and made a high quality digital back-up copy of the material.

LOL. Hstencil's thesis is actually worth reading, IMHO.

Then the boot's probably the same source - there's a skip at 35 seconds into "European Son" just like the auction describes. Interestingly, there is no skip in "Waiting For The Man" (at 00:10), which differs from the eBay desription.
Doesn't sound so bad to me! I could easily write an essay on the many specific differences - the backing vocals in "Femme Fatale" are mixed way higher, for example.

offtopic but that sound gallery compilation is pretty cool. just in case anyone was wondering.

What is the most expensive record ever sold? Anyone know offhand? I know those Hank Ballard & The Midnighters 10"s can get up there.

Only a matter of time before this gets pulled and is done by a real auction house then?
― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 00:13 (seventeen years ago) link
Read that waxidermy thread, a lot of record collectors there have posted horror stories about trying to sell vinyl through auction houses, where rare recordings don't even get minimum bids.

i thought that too when i heard it. kinda hope this does get cleaned up and released. i'd buy it ;)

"This pendant was handcut from a US penny using a saw that in no way has no handle. This piece of jewelry may be the most important and significant symbol of symbology since Jesus turned fish into wine. I have been working on this project for over twelve long years and I am now ready to share this visionary metaphor for life itself with all god's creatures except for lobsters, which are the most vile and destestible of all bottom feeders. The choice to make this available for auction on ebay was was not an easy one. The original plan was to give this to my only daughter on the day of her Graduation from the Berkley school of music. Though over the years I realized I am likely to never have a daughter so I figure this piece should end up in the hands of a complete stranger. A master pan flautist perhaps. So as they say in the old country, "with a banjo on my knee"."

That European son: When the big crash happens, the music continues as before on this one. The LP version is therefore an edit and I KNEW IT!!!
A Similar "I Knew it" was the chorus drop-in on "RunRunRun" which masks a tentative first "run" as can be heard on this version.

If that's a mono mix, surely 'crackle remove' would just be a matter of removing sound sources that are purely on one or other channel but not both.
