Love And Affection

REFLECTIONS Love And Affection (Very rare 1974 UK single sided metal based high grade methyl cellulose acetate for the A Side of the single release, with hand annotated Abbey Road Studio label that mis-spells the title. This was to be their debut release on the Purple label and the release date of 1/11/74 is written on the label, so it is assumed that this is the final mix. Notoriously fragile, this acetate remains in remarkable condition and plays through without fault and the minimum of background noise - A nice find)

Tracklisting & More Information

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.
