Even in 1965, all Warhol's films had sound. In summer 1966 he made Chelsea Girls, and then began the film segments that would make up 24 hour move (****) which again all had sound . Like the other 1966 films, I would guess that this one has sound recorded whilst filming. After summer 1966 he seemed to be working solely in colour, so perhaps this one is pre-Chelsea girls.

Yes,that's what I meant,with not a "soundtrack" itself.The idea of this movie as a pre-Chelsea Girls is a cool&brilliant.Checkin' out the length of the film,looks a bigger project than a background for the EPI show.Don't forget one of main points of Pop art is the improvisation which AW was so keen on,especially in making movies.

Edit to add this interesting site with and accurate date of each film,http://www.poorafilmy.com/people/87862-andy-warhol

Taxine, that site dates it as 28th June . I wonder how they got that accurate figure? And then they also date Moe Gets Tied Up as the same day.

Well,there's no mistake,this site is based on Callie Angell's eassys about factory films.Just take a look iaredatsun.

Callie Angell, The Films of Andy Warhol: Part II ( 1994)

"A number of other two-reel films of the Velvet Underground, also presumably shot for
projection during their performances, have been found in the collection, but are not yet
preserved; these include The Velvet Underground (in which Maureen Tucker is tied up with
ropes). The Velvet Underground Tarot Cards, and The Velvet Underground in Boston."
