Bob Dylan

Comes from 'UK' acetate

It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry

BOB DYLAN It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry (60s UK 45RPM 7" single sided metal based methyl cellulose lacquer acetate featuring what appears to be a mono mix of the take that is to be found on the 1965 'Highway 61 Revisited' album, with custom Emidisc typed labels & 'Kinney Music Ltd' stamp. So often found in poor condition as a result of their fragile nature, this copy is in fantastic condition & would still be graded EX-/EX if on vinyl)

Tracklisting & More Information

An acetate is a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record. They were sometimes used by the Publishing Company to hand to other artists that were thinking of doing a cover version of the track(s).

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.

This copy is also in wonderful condition
