not the ones in the link above: "The Andy Warhol Museum announced Wednesday that it had discovered and digitized rare master tapes of the Velvet Underground’s seminal 1967 debut album “The Velvet Underground & Nico” from Verve Records."

unless the reporting on this is a complete mess which I wouldn't be surprised to learn

it's the Scepter acetate — "Although an acetate version, which was made from these master tapes, was released for the 45th anniversary of the album, it is of a different sonic quality, given the generation loss inherent in an analog copy."

That said, some of the Scepter sessions on that 45th anniversary set are from a "tape source" so I don't know if this will be a marked improvement.
