The Velvet Forum

Perhaps, but that full listing of the history of Matrix appearances shows the Velvets appearing on that Thanksgiving and cancelling December 3rd.

Very true, but it did help monetize the purchase. Peter Abram asks decent money. That's why they ripped him off in 1974 using the copies of the acetates, and why the Doors did the same with their Matrix Tapes, releasing bootleg copies.
