On October 1st Universal will be releasing a deluxe edition of The Velvet Underground & Nico to celebrate the 45th anniversary of the album. The main point of note with this version over previous re-releases is the inclusion of the Scepter Studios acetate version of the record which has been fetching the insane amount of $155,401 on eBay.
