Description
ELVIS COSTELLO “Alison”/ “Miracle Man (Live)”
RARE 10” ACETATE
ARTIST: Elvis Costello
TITLE: “Alison”/ “Miracle Man (Live)” - Extremely rare double-sided acetate cut at Columbia’s legendary (and no longer existant) East 52nd St. recording studio. The U.S. version of Alison was different from the album version and Miracle Man was not the B-side on all of the singles released by Columbia at the time, making this a rare and collectible item.
DATE: May, 1977
SPEED: 45 rpm
SIZE: 10” disc
CONDITION: Used but cared for and well preserved. These acetates have been in my personal collection as original owner since they were issued. This record is in its original generic paper sleeve.
NOTES:
Acetates are extra heavy discs, with the center of the record containing a layer made of metal, usually aluminum. These records are the first versions made from the master tapes (prior to test pressings or promo copies and are usually superior sounding) for the purpose of comment on the mix by the artist and producer. Sometimes the mixes can be slightly different or contain a different mix or edit from the final release. These were never meant to be available to the public. They were expensive to make so very few, if any, were made, making them very RARE and collectible.
*Please note that if you are an overseas bidder, you will be required to either pay for shipping that allows for tracking and proof of delivery or agree that I cannot be held responsible for packages that do not arrive.
