Description
Under the Contemporary Masters banner, we released a short seris that captured the depth and importance of the Okeh label. This four sided set of acetates is the one devoted to Western Swing and encapsulates all of the immortals who passed through its recording studios--Bob Wills, Hank Penny, Spade Cooley, the Light Crust Doughboys, etc. This was our working copy of that set and has been played one time more than 30 years ago. They are in excellent condition.
Almost 40 years ago, I worked as a producer at Columbia Records. Much of the work was with the jazz roster--including the deep and illustrious history of this company through its reissue programs, "Contemporary Masters" and "Jazz Masterpieces." This acetate/test pressing comes from my personal collection along with any information I may have written on the jacket. In many cases, we cut several generations of masters before we (and especially the artists) were happy with the final sound. Mastering is a very important step in the final production of a recording session. In most cases, this is the only copy that was "cut," and it was passed along to executives and artists for their signed approval. The sale of this acetate does not include any inherent rights, nor are they imploied. The recordings and music are owned by the record label and/or artists. To commercially release this material would violate those rights.
