I'd love to hear this thing. They should call it "The Velvet Underground and Nico - the $155.401,00 Outtakes." Lou Reed must find this unspeakably funny. His barrel scapings mined for gold. Does Lou make $150,000 in a year? | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 213 Registered: 08-2006 |
Make that, barrel scrapings. Jeez, Y Kant Robbie Tipe... | ||

Apparently, according to the 'Fork, this is back up on eBay. You know, folks, Christmas is coming up and I've been oh so good this year... | ||

They want nearly £80,000!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus, must be for FANS only, I wouldn't pay that, even if I had the money, I'd pay it for John Lennon's toenail clippings though! | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 851 Registered: 03-2005 |
Damn! What an amazing coincidence! I happen to have an old yellowing envelope with Lennon's toenail clippings. | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 1321 Registered: 03-2006 |
Is there some sort of scale involved, Spence? Would you buy toenail clippings from other artists you like, but not as much, for lesser amounts? Say, I dunno, Forster's, for...$1,000? Maybe Vickers' for $125? Tim Mustafa's for $5? And Kev, how much you would you pay for MES'? | ||

Um, I'd probably pay a tidy sum for some used clothing of Kate Bush's, like...no, stop, stop, stop! (slapping myself mentally) | ||
| spence Member Username: Spence Post Number: 1090 Registered: 05-2005 |
I'd buy a Mustafa drum Schtick for $10 LK!!!! | ||

Not a huge surprise. The fair market value of that thing is probably only a few hundred dollars. | ||

The music on that acetate is amazing - Nico without the overblown echo, the extended European Son, the alternate mixes and takes are simply mind-blowing. Such a shame the VU estate and Universal had such a falling out, otherwise these tracks would have undoubtedly appeared on the 2CD set of VU & Nico. Like I've said, the acetate is AMAZING and a must hear. | ||
| andreas Member Username: Andreas Post Number: 377 Registered: 04-2006 |
hey donat, your posting impies that you had the chance to listen to this gem. how that? please kindly tell us curious ones a bit more about. | ||
| andreas Member Username: Andreas Post Number: 378 Registered: 04-2006 |
i meant IMPLIES and not IMPIES. | ||
| Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 1066 Registered: 04-2005 |
Someone on this board (won't say who in case he doesn't want to get credit/blame) sent me a link to a music blog that had MP3s of the VU acetate. Unfortunately, I forgot to bookmark the page, so I don't have the URL now. If that kind soul wants to step forward with the link, this is his cue... | ||
| Little Keith Member Username: Manosludge Post Number: 1331 Registered: 03-2006 |
Kind soul? Me? Oh, you! Ok, I guess I can step up when addressed thusly. That link is: http://tastetastetaste.blogspot.com/ Dunno if the dude still has it up...these things disappear quickly... | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 1069 Registered: 05-2005 |
Yeah, it's gone. Donat obviously loved it; but what do you think Kurt? | ||
| Kurt Stephan Member Username: Slothbert Post Number: 1067 Registered: 04-2005 |
I haven't listened to it all the way through on decent speakers, to be honest. On some tracks, the beginning sounded so similar to the album version that I assumed there was no significant difference. Obviously, I was wrong. The version of "Waiting for the Man" is very different--more like a live take, and not as good. | ||
| Donat Member Username: Donat Post Number: 237 Registered: 11-2004 |
I have a CD-r of it if anyone... My Christgauish rating would be A+ | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 1072 Registered: 05-2005 |
Thanks Kurt. Yes, there was some useful information there. | ||
| Allen Belz Member Username: Abpositive Post Number: 124 Registered: 09-2006 |
Um, Donat, are you saying you're willing to, um, make copies? (ori is it bad form to say that out loud here?) | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 1074 Registered: 05-2005 |
Allen. Follow. That. Link. Also follow that link I posted on the tribute show page. | ||
| Allen Belz Member Username: Abpositive Post Number: 125 Registered: 09-2006 |
Gotcha. Many thanks. | ||
| Pádraig Collins Member Username: Pádraig_collins Post Number: 1075 Registered: 05-2005 |
Listening to it now. It's great, it really is. A bit scratchy, and I wouldn't pay $100,000 for it, but great. | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 225 Registered: 08-2006 |
I love this message board. | ||
| Rob Brookman Member Username: Rob_b Post Number: 227 Registered: 08-2006 |
Wow, this is real find. I'm floored. It is indeed scratchy, but holy cow... How 'bout that for a considered, measured critical assessment? | ||
| Randy Adams Member Username: Randy_adams Post Number: 859 Registered: 03-2005 |
Damn! I need more time to listen to the vastly expanded "European Son" than I have now but I LOVE "Waiting for the Man." | ||
| Jerry Clark Member Username: Jerry Post Number: 512 Registered: 08-2004 |
I want to hear a version of VU & Nico without all that nasty feedback.  | ||
| andreas Member Username: Andreas Post Number: 382 Registered: 04-2006 |
