The story that won't go away: More on that VU acetate

We didn't want to keep chattering about this, but the blog world is still buzzing, so what the hey.
Probably the best article to date about that $150K disk ("Quite possibly the most important artifact in rock 'n' roll history"--quite possibly the biggest overstatement in rock 'n' roll history, but we can work it out in the comments) comes from the awesome Northwest Weekly the Portland Mercury.
But blogger Trevor Stenson speaks to the vagaries of record collecting, and reviews an apparent reproduction of the acetate that he heard--where else?--on the net.

Luckily very little of our gear was stolen (only 2 big muff distortion pedals, one boss loop station, one DW9000 kick drum pedal, and a tambourine). But our personal belongings did not fair so well.

From MNStories.com: Seven nights, seven bars, one song: "Desperado."
It's a lot more painful than you'd guess. And it must have been hard for the singers, too (Taylor and and Miss Claudia).
