JANUARY 15TH 1982 - BOBBY CALDWELL - CARRY ON - TWO SINGLE SIDED 12" METAL CENTER ACETATES - MADE FOR POLYGRAM RECORDS - SEE THE PHOTOS THAT CAN BE ENLARGED -

THE LEGEHDARY DRUMMER OF CAPTAIN BEYOND AND JOHHY WINTER WAS BOBBY CALDWELL, BUT SOME GUY TOLD ME THAT THIS ISN'T THE SAME BOBBY CALDWELL. I DON'T KNOW, IT MIGHT BE TRUE BECAUSE THIS ISN'T HARD ROCK LIKE I WOULDA' EXPECTED BOBBY CALDWELL THE DRUMMER OF THOSE GROUPS TO RELEASE AS HIS SOLO ALBUM. IT'S MORE LIKE FUNK. I THOUGHT THAT THIS MIGHT HAVE BEEN CALDWELL'S ATTEMPT TO DO SOMETHING COMMERCIAL IN THE 80'S. BUT I'LL TELL YA, BOBBY CALDWELL WAS A VERSITILE DRUMMER AND I'M SURE COULD PLAY ANY STYLE OF DRUMS. ALSO, JUST BECAUSE NOBODY HAD EVER HEARD OF THIS BOBBY CALDWELL RECORD DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT'S NOT HIM. IN THE CASE OF ACETATES MANY SIMPLY DON'T GET PUT OUT AS LPS, AND THAT'S WHAT BOBBY MIGHT HAVE DECIDED AFTER HEARING THIS STUFF THINKING THAT'S IT'S JUST TOO COMMERCIAL.

SO WHAT ARE ACETATES. FIRST OF ALL THEY'RE KIND OF LIKE RECORDS, BUT MUCH HEAVIER BECAUSE THEY HAVE METAL IN THE CENTER AND SOME KIND OF VINYL MELTED AROUND THEM. BUT UNLIKE RECORDS THEY'RE NOT PRESSED, THEY WERE MADE BY A SPECIAL MACHINE AND WERE VERY EXPENSIVE TO MADE. THEY WERE THE VERY FIRST TRANSFER OF THE MUSIC TO RECORD FORMAT TO CHECK FOR QUALITY AND HOW THE MUSIC WOULD ACTUALLY FIT ON A DISC. MANY ALBUMS DIDN'T EVEN HAVE ANY ACETATES MADE DUE TO THE COSTS, THEY WOULD SIMPLY SKIP THE ACETATE PROCESS AND MAKE THE PRESSING PLATES, THEN PRESS SOME TEST PRESSINGS TO CHECK THE PLATES OUT. THESE ACETATES HAVE THIER VERY OWN SMELL, ONE THAT YOU'LL NOTICE RIGHT AWAY WHEN YOU REMOVE THEM FROM THE COVER. ALSO MANY TIMES MORE THAN EVEN TEST PRESSINGS, ACETATES WOULD HAVE DIFFERENT SONGS, VERSIONS OF SONGS, SONG MIXES, SONG ORDERS THAN THE FINAL STOCK COPY RELEASES. I'VE NEVER HEARD OR HAVE EVEN SEEN THE STOCK COPY OF THIS RELEASE, SO I CAN'T COMPARE THE STOCK COPY TO THESE ACETATES. HOWEVER THE SONG TITLES ARE TYPED ON THE LABELS, SO I CAN TELL YOU WHAT THE ARE. ALSO EACH ACETATE HAS WHICH SIDE OF THE RECORD THAT IT IS PLANNED TO BECOME, AS WELL AS THE DATE, RECORD COMPANY AND ARTIST'S NAME.

ACETATE ONE IS SIDE ONE AND CONTAINS: ALL OF MY LOVE - SUNNY HILLS - LOVIN' YOU - WORDS.

ACETATE TWO IS SIDE TWO AND CONTAINS: CAT WALK - JAMAICA - YOU BELONG TO ME - CARRY ONE.

BOTH ACETATES ARE SINGLE SIDED AND PLAY GREAT. ACETATE ONE HAS A FEW SMALL LIGHT SURFACE MARKS AND SMUDGES. ACETATE TWO HAS NONE THAT I REALLY NOTICED BUT IF YOU WHIP OUT YOUR HIGH POWERED MICROSCOPE, WHO KNOW WHAT YOU'LL SEE. THE ORIGIAL GENERIC WHITE ALBUM COVER HAS JAN 15,1982, POLYGRAM RECORDS, BOBBY CALDWELL WRITTEN ON THE FRONT IN BLACK MARKER, THE OK AND 1/19/82 WRITTEN IN PEN. SO I GUESS SOMEBODY APPROVED THIS VERSION. THERE A TEAR ON THE BOTTOM EDGE STARTING AT THE RECORD SLOT OF ABOUT AN INCH. HEY, THIS IS A GENERIC COVER SO WHO CARES ANYWAY? BOTH RECORD SOME IN SOME COLLECTOR'S TYPE OF INNER SLEEVES, AND A PLASTIC OUTER SLEEVE THAT FITS OVER THE COVER. 

OK, SO NOW I'VE NOT ONLY DESCRIBED HOW THESE ACETATES LOOK BUT I'VE ALSO PLAYED THEM. SO HERE'S THE DEAL: I'VE NEVER HEARD THE STOCK COPY OF THIS RECORD, AND DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING DIFFERENT ON THESE ACEATATES, WHICH MANY TIMES THERE IS. SO I'M SELLING THESE AS IS, NO RETURNS. SO IF YOU'RE A WEASEL, OR THINKING ABOUT BECOMING ONE, BY BIDDING ON THESE ACETATES AND RECORDING THEM, THEN TRYING TO FIND SOME OUTRAGEOUS REASON TO RETURN THEM, YOU'RE CRAZY. SO IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH BUYING ITEMS AS IS, SIMPLY DON'T BID, AND IF YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE AFORE-MENTIONED WEASELS, JUST GO RIP THE IDIOT OFF ON THE NEXT LISTING THAT YOU FIND BECAUSE IT WON'T HAPPEN HERE.
