Velvet Underground Garage Sale Find!

The Portland Mercury: Feature (11/25/04)

No, I haven't found anything special at garage sales lately. I did find an awesome set of Gryphon cufflinks right in time for a wedding last fall for a buck. I proceeded to dance one of them into oblivion at said wedding. But that' s not what this post is about. This story is about someone who found a $40,000 original acetate of the Velvet Underground's first demo album financed by one Andy Warhol painting. The finder paid a whopping $0.75.
