The Velvet Underground - 1st Album Test Acetate ( 1966 )








THE MYSTERY OF THE VELVET UNDERGROUND'S "REAL FIRST RECORD" (AND HOW THE ONLY EXISTING COPY WAS BOUGHT FOR 75 CENTS).
Probably you already know the score, but if you dont the whole story of this record is included in the rar file. The album is so pricey because it’s thought to be the only surviving copy of the early version of The Velvet Undergrounds’ classic eponymous album.
The 1966 recording features nine alternative versions of Velvet Underground tracks and is thought to be part of the much reported Lost Scepter Studio Recordings.
Arguably the rarest and most important rock'n'roll and art artefact in the world". They claim that this is, in fact, the original version of the Velvets' legendary first album The Velvet Underground and Nico, their proof being that producer Andy Warhol apparently sent it as the finished article to Columbia records - who responded to the depravity within with the words to the effect of "do you think we're out of our fucking minds?"

hello hector!
yes you are right about the quality of the covers but most of them are taken from the net.
Not enough time to scan them.
