The acetate was auctioned on eBay for the final price of $25,200. That was actually the second eBay auction of the record. The first auction ended at the mind-boggling price of $155,401.00. However, that winner of that auction (make that “ultimate loser ever”) ‘fessed up that he “can’t even afford gas for [his] car.” Dick. This led to the second auction. The name of the winner has not, at this writing, been disclosed.
Mr. Hill, proprietor of the Backroom Records and Pastries shop and member of the band Wolf Parade, made a 3,359,900 percent profit on the sale.

The VU acetate is much more than a test pressing, though. Not only are the songs in a completely different order than the final release on Verve, most are different mixes, and many are completely different takes. The master tapes of these mixes were lost long, long ago, forever amen. The acetate was submitted to Columbia Records for consideration. They, of course, declined. Mr. Dolph has kept the response, which reportedly read in part, “You’ve got to be fucking kidding” (or words to that precise effect).
