A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
 | THE BATS Accept It (1964 UK single sided 45RPM mono metal based
ultra high grade methyl cellulose lacquer acetate featuring the A Side
to their only single release, written by Burt Bacharach. This is the Irish
Bats, who recorded for Columbia,notto be confused with the South
African Bats who recorded for Decca or Labatts from Canada. A slice
of soft beat produced by Mickie Most in December that year. The
acetate label is the classic EMIDISC type, hand annotated with the
Artist, song title & 'A'. Notoriously fragile, this copy has survived the
last fifty years with just a few light surface 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. | | THE BATS Accept It (1964 UK single sided 45RPM mono metal based
