What museum would you hand this over to, by the way? Seriously.. What would be your plan of action, if this was in your possession

A record like this, which is historically and culturally significant to the development of rock (and warhol's involvement) should be available via a libary/museum/etc, where it can be preserved properly and made available for scholarly purposes.

I've heard the Bowie story too -- apparently his manager of the time brought back a copy to him in late 66/early 67 after an NYC visit, and that before his full debut album in late '67 Bowie went on to record covers of "I'm Waiting for the Man" and one other song which have never been released.

I found the part where the sellers made a high quality digital copy of the album for themselves to be interesting? Think they could sell that to iTunes after getting 20-large for the vinyl?
