Pet Shop Boys

Comes from 'UK' acetate

West End Girls

PET SHOP BOYS West End Girls (Rare 1985 UK 10" double sided metal based high grade methyl cellulose lacquer acetate for the limited edition 10" release, containing an untitled 3:55 Remix of the title track along with a 4:50 Version of 'A Man Could Get Arrested'. You will notice that the timings given differ from those of the released 10" even though it is given that catalogue number, so is most likely an error that has been copied over from the 7" version label copy timings. The labels are nice hand annotated Abbey Road studios custom labels in die cut sleeve. This acetate is in superb condition to boot!)

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 & certainly one of only a handful made.

This copy is also in amazing pristine condition.
