A FEW OF THE ITEMS WE WANT...
 | THE TRADE WINDS Mind Excursion (1969 UK advance promotional
single sided 7" metal based high grade methyl cellulose lacquer
acetate for the very groovy single release [Kama Sutra KAS202] with
hand annotated Pye custom 'advance promotion acetate'labels in plain
die cut paper sleeve. Very few of these are ever produced, mostly for
in-studio sonic reference, so seldom leave the studio or are destroyed
once the final master is approved. Very occasionally, like this one,
they are sent outas advance promos for a release before the final
pressings are made. Being so fragile & over forty five years old, this
acetate can only realistically be described as VG-/VG and displays a
fair amount of surface noise throughout, although it plays without fault.
An acceptable copy at an advantageous price)
Tracklisting: An acetate is normally a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record but were occasionally used for a songwriter to convey a song idea to a band or person or to send out in advance of the regular vinyl pressings being ready, like this one.
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 nice find & certainly one of only a handful that would have been produced. | | THE TRADE WINDS Mind Excursion (1969 UK advance promotional
