Siouxsie & The Banshees

Comes from 'UK' acetate

Wheels On Fire

SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES Wheels On Fire (Extremely rare one sided metal based ultra high-grade methyl cellulose lacquer acetate for the 1987 UK 12" single, with a Town House studio label one side. The label is annotated with the artist & track name, listing the '7:32' version for what was to be the Incendiary Mix as a 'Recut'. Very few of these type acetates ever escape the studio & seldom reach the hands of the general public. The acetate's surface is stunning looking with merely the verylightest few paper scuffs - as good as you are ever likely to 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.
