The Moody Blues Never Comes the Day French 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.
An incredible find - possibly unique - and certainly one of only a handful.

sided 7" metal based acetate for their only single released from
the album, On The Threshold Of A Dream. This acetate has an
Emidisc branded label with hand annotated artist name & title,
within a plain die-cut paper sleeve. There is a small chip to the
outer edge where the coating has come away from the
aluminium base, this is a common problem with acetates of this
age and affects the first few seconds of the track. The playing
surface has some minor marks, but we have cleaned with distilled
water to remove the many years of dirt and dust build up.
Although not mint this is something that doesn't show up often
as these would have ended up destroyed. A rarity that is a must
have for any collection) )
