MARVIN WELCH & FARRAR Marvin, Welch & Farrar (Rare 1971 UK
12-track pair of single sided metal based methyl cellulose lacquer
acetates with an album side on each & different track order to the
released album, custom handwritten EmiDisc labels intracklisted plain
white sleeves. Because of their fragile nature, acetates are easily
marked & these are no exception although it will play through without
fault. Realistically, the surface condition would be VG-/G+ if this were
vinyl, but being made in extremely small numbers for sonic reference
use or, as in this case, to hand to a DJ, their rarity as a collectable is
unquestioned. From the personal collection of former BBC disc jockey,
journalist and presenter Mike Read).

An acetate is a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record.
Originally acetates were used for home recording in the days before tape recorders, but since the advent of cassette tape & CDR are now no longer used for providing bands & their entourage copies of today's studio efforts. A machine actually cuts the grooves into the acetate like a lathe.
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 dozen to be manufactured, 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 - possibly unique - and certainly one of only a handful.
