Frank Sinatra

Comes from 'USA' acetate

A Man And His Music

FRANK SINATRA A Man And His Music (Rare 1965 US 32-track pair of 12" double sided metal based methyl cellulose lacquer acetates for the stereo double compilation LP putting together an anthology of Frank's musical career. The acetates have plaintypewritten labels with just title, 'SINATRA' & the date of Nov 24, 1965. Unusually for such a fragile item, especially one that is fast approaching its fiftieth Birthday, is that all four discs are as near spotless as you would ever dream of finding an acetate, with just a few fingerprints but NO major scuffs or scratches. A very hard to find item indeed, certainly one of only a few made & possibly unique)

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.

Very rare indeed for acetates, this pair are nearly pristine!
