Notes

At least 3 different pressings - all with the same matrix numbers and plain white labels.
1. 1985 first pressing with black/blue/white cover (this one).
2. 1987 reissue with clear plastic cover with one sided 12"x12" red cardboard cover, "Andy Warhol" stamped in green on the inner sleeve and two postcards.
3. Black & white fold over sleeve with "Andy Warhol" stamped in green ink on lower left hand corner and on inner sleeve. It seems to be a numbered edition, some copies have a number stamped on back cover.

I like this record. Kind of weird that discogs is allowing the sale of a VU boot.

if i bought all the VU bootlegs in the world in order of sound quality, this would be one of the last ones to be purchased. Buy it to look at if you want, but it is pretty much unlistenable - that's why all the vinyl copies are still mint after 30 yrs! There are marginally better and much longer versions of the Hedy and Chelsea Girls bits circulating online, but they are also quite hard going!
Phobism
Too bad that it has such an awful sound quality.
