Pretty cool story, actually.  The guy bought it for 75 cents at a flea market in NYC a few years ago.

Here's the full story (http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/10/vintage.velvet.ap/index.html?eref=rss_topstories).


(And the Velvet Underground are amazing.)

I know nothing of them.  I will have to learn.

Probably the most influential rock band ever.

All of their albums are great.  "Loaded" is a good place to start.

kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
shiny leather in the dark
tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

I'm a Lou Reed fan, does that count?

Well, the guy bowed out of the buying, so it will be relisted.  Link. (http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/Music/12/14/vintagevelvet.ap/index.html)

"Seriously, I can barely afford gas for my car to get to work," reads part of the message the seller says he got via eBay.

I just got heavily into his Berlin album thanks to the New York Times article (link) (http://www.nytimes.com/2006/12/13/arts/music/13reed.html?hp&ex=1165986000&en=71e21270512cabd4&ei=5094&partner=homepage).
