FRANK SINATRA The Frank Sinatra Show (Rare 1958 US official
8-track 10" double sided metal based methyl cellulose lacquer acetate
featuring songs recorded for his live TV Show on 9th May 1958, also
featuring special guest Ella Fitzgerald. Needless to say, being
extremely fragile & also over fifty years of age, this acetate is not
mint, but is still perfectly playable despite a large number of visible
surface scuffs. Being taken from the soundtrack of the TV show,
presumably for radiouse, the sound quality is similar to that heard on
black & white newsreels & has a certain vintage charm. The disc is
labelled on one side with a type written label giving the show details
but the 33RPM speed that it is designed to play at has been omitted,
which may have caused some confusion if DJs attempted to play it at
78RPM. It is what it is. Certainly rare & probably only one of a
handful ever made).

Frank Sinatra The Frank Sinatra Show US acetate
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
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.
In this case, the acetate was used to preserve a recording of a live television broadcast.
Tracklisting Unknown, except :
01: Jeepers Creepers
