RE: [bomp] velvet underground acetate

[Bob Widenhofer <bwidenhofer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I respectfully disagree, Craig.
   
  Even if there are relatively high quality mp3's available for download, it is very likely that the acetate can be digitally remastered with much higher quality.  I noticed that two songs on the acetate have an audible skip, that can almost certainly be fixed.
   
  I have not heard these mp3's, just joining you in speculation here.
   
  In addition to a CD, someone could cut a true analog master and release it on vinyl.  Plenty of people would buy that.  I would.
   
  Another way of thinking about it: let's say you're right and the demand is diminished by free mp3's.  What if you could only sell 200,000?  What does that make the acetate worth?  Maybe $300,000?  $400,000  I don't know how much...but I think it's more than just an artifact.
   
  By the way, thanks for posting about this in the first place.  What a cool story.  75 cents!

Couldn't find them on alt.binaries - probably because site totally baffled me
so the material is already floating around from other sources - if so which
sources?

if material was unavailable elsewhere then if buyer could jump any legal
technicalities to press up a CD, they would sell 500,000 upwards which makes
acetate worth about #1-2 million. If material is available elsewhere then
acetate is just an artifact.
