The fact that this seller was able to make a chance find of this magnitude and was subsequently able to capitalize on it in the most fair and open way available is no more worthy of criticizing than someone who is able to buy a house or a car for way below the going rate and is able to turn that around for some profit.
Jesus fucking christ.

Besides which, this will inevitably see release of some kind. That is something I am sure of.

I bet you're right. I never thought of that. I feel so ashamed of myself right now.

Sure, maybe you see it that way, but you're not a closet Communist, anti-capitalistic pinko like me. And don't try to drag Christianity or any other opiate-for-the-masses religion into this!

It may surprise you to know that I am.
I just see no difference between this and selling any other record.
The guy simply got a great find for very cheap.
This is the society and system we live in, and this person got lucky. That's all.

Because I recognize the system we live in, and the need to survive within that system for the forseeable future despite what my purest ideals in my heart of hearts may be?
Whatever.

Me too. Which is why I hate record collectors in general.

HaydenAsche · 12.02.2006, 04:33 PM

Fucking morons. I'd never pay 75 cents for a VU album.

I resemble that remark.

it's zoo zoo.. i think

Savage Clone · 12.02.2006, 05:58 PM

Shoo Shoo is how most people say it.
The band themselves have ony ever objected to "zoo zoo" because "it sounds like a bad hair-metal band."
Other than that, it seems to be open to interpretation.

hey alex · 12.02.2006, 06:03 PM

damnit. I can;t wait to hopefully hear these... the worst thing would be if some prick bought ti and then kept it to himself.

Didn't they name themselves after some Asian film? So I guess its however that is officially pronounced. I usually just say Shoo Shoo (or Shoe Shoe).

I cant stand the sound of the velvet underground.
Although i might pay 75 cents (which i think translates to 50p) for a vynil album.

Gulasch Noir · 12.03.2006, 07:39 AM

It's the auction with the highest bidding I have ever seen for a record ... by far! I think I saw somebody wanting USD 5000 for a beatles 7" on green vinyl (i think it was norwegian wood), but if memory serves me right, nobody had bidden. USD 50000 now! Fuck!

Surely these bids can't be serious!

thindarkduke13 · 12.03.2006, 02:11 PM

I don't need it. I got the bootleg on my computer. A lot of the songs are actually better on it than the official album.
