1. Somebody To Love 7" MONO
An acetate is normally a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record but were occasionally used for a songwriter to convey a song idea to a band or person.
Originally acetates were used for home recording in the days before tape recorders, but since the advent of first cassette tape, then CD-R and now digital file transfer they are rarely used in the manner originally intended.
The acetate is used to assess whether the music has been successfully transferred to disc. It is checked by the sound engineer. There may be only one copy made of a particular recording, sometimes more are cut and sent to the studio and band members for approval.
The acetate comes before making the master, and allows the sound to be checked without great expense.
It is unusual for more than a handful to be created, so from the collector's point of view an acetate is a rare find indeed. If the recording is rejected the acetate may be the only record that survives. The rejected cut may simply be poor quality, however the artist may have opted to use a different take of the song, if so, the acetate becomes much more precious.
An incredible find & certainly one of only a handful that would have been produced.
