A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
 | FOUR JUST MEN That's My Baby (1964 UK single sided 45RPM
mono metal based ultra high grade methyl cellulose lacquer
acetate featuring the A Side to their single release. This was
withdrawn shortly before commercial release as the band
were sued and had to change their name to Just Four Men
instead, causing a reprint of labels at Parlophone & a
re-release with a different catalogue number. Sitting happily
in The Hollies style of beaty pop, this band were to change
their name to Wimple Winch a few years later and follow a
very different path. The acetate label is the classic EMIDISC
type, hand annotated with the Artist, song title, the agency
'Kennedy St' & the name 'Eddy J'. Notoriously fragile, this
copy has survived the last fifty years with just a few light
surface scuffs & hairlines and remains in very nice condition
for an acetate of this age and still plays well)
Tracklisting: 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. | | FOUR JUST MEN That's My Baby (1964 UK single sided 45RPM
