Never underestimate what you can kind at a flea-market! In 2002, Canadian record collector Warren Hill paid 75 cents for a copy of the Velvet’s debut album at a street sale in New York City. However, he soon realized that this wasn’t a common reprint of the album featuring Andy Warhol’s famed banana sticker cover (seen in the photo).
Instead, Hill’s copy had handwritten labels and came in a plain brown sleeve. What Hill held in his hands was actually a test pressing that contained early versions and mixes of songs that would ultimately appear on the finished album. What’s more, the only other known copy belongs to the band’s drummer, More Tucker. Unsurprisingly, Hill auctioned it on eBay and ended up collecting the hefty sum of $25,200. Not a bad return on 75 cent investment!
