Comes from 'UK' acetate

Tour De France B/W Give My Regards To Broad Street - Acetate

KRAFTWERK Tour De France B/W Give My Regards To Broad Street (Mega Rare 1984 Master Room 12" ultra high-grade methyl cellulose metal based lacquer reference test pressing acetate for the single release, featuring the full length [6:47] Francois Kervorkian remix. The acetate is double sided and this is where the story gets even more interesting, the disc looks to have been recycled in the studio, as the B-Side plays Side One of Paul McCartney's Give My Regards To Broad Street. A rare and unusual coupling and quite possibly a unique item, without doubt a true gem for any collection)

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.
