Description
OK, THIS ONE IS ABSOLUTE GOLD TO ANY BEATLES / JOHN AND YOKO FAN. AN ABSOLUTE TREASURE THAT MIGHT POSSIBLY BE A ONE OFF; ESPECIALLY AS YOU READ FURTHER BELOW ON HOW THE B SIDE IS CUT!
AN ORIGINAL UK EMIDISC (ASSUMING CUT AT ABBEY ROAD, EMI STUDIOS) 7" ACETATE OF "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE" AND "REMEMBER LOVE" BY THE PLASTIC ONO BAND. INCORRECTLY TITLED "GIVE PEACE of CHANCE"!!!
BONA FIDE 100% AUTHENTIC AND GENUINE. IT IS DOUBLE SIDED BUT INTERESTINGLY AND I WOULD GUESS UTTERLY UNIQUELY, THE B SIDE HAS 1 OR 2 TEST CUT GROOVES BEFORE "REMEMBER LOVE" BEGINS. THE FIRST OF WHICH IS A GUY TALKING WHO SAYS SOMETHING LIKE, "MY NAME IS XX AND I AM FROM BELGIUM", THEN 1 OR 2 TEST TONE GROOVE / CUTS BEFORE THE TRACK STARTS IN ERNEST.
THIS SOUNDS TO ME (FROM ONE SOLE PLAY) LIKE A MONO CUT OF BOTH SIDES; AND ALSO I WOULD SAY THIS IS PRE "PROPER" MASTERING AS IF IT WAS RE-CUT AGAIN LATER WITH MORE "POLISH" AS IN THIS SOUNDS QUITE LO-FI COMPARED TO COMMERCIAL VERSIONS I HEAR ON YOU TUBE ETC. BUT THAT IS MY OPINION NOT A FACT! AND IS PARTLY BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE FINISHED COMMERCIALLY SOLD SINGLE TO JUDGE IT AGAINST HERE, SO PLEASE CONSIDER THAT IF BIDDING.
FOR BEST EXPLANATION AS TO MY SIDE 2 DESCRIPTION, CHECK OUT THE PICTURES HERE ESPECIALLY THE ONE WITH SIDE 2 ON THE TURNTABLE AS IT BEST DESCRIBES THIS STOP START CUTTING PROCESS THEY USED WHEN DOING THE TEST CUT FOR SIDE B. (ALSO THE PIC OF SIDE B SHOWING THE FULL DISC CONTAINS MARKS ON MY SCANNER BED, NOT THE RECORD!!)
CONDITION WISE, THIS IS SUPREMELY FRAGILE, I PLAYED IT ONCE AND WOULDN'T LIKE TO DO IT AGAIN. IT PLAYS WITH LIGHT CRACKLES, NO SCRATCHES THOUGH, AND VISUALLY IT HAS A GOOD FEW SURFACE MARKS BUT STRESS IT PLAYS THROUGH COMPLETELY WITHOUT INTERRUPTION ON BOTH SIDES.
THIS STARTS NICE AND LOW AND WILL POST IN STURDY REGISTERED POSTAGE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD free FOR THE AMOUNT IT GOES FOR. THANKS FOR LOOKING....
100% genuine, authentic item - none of these iffy "repro" acetates or 'A' label demos, this is a bona fide OF IT'S TIME authentic acetate....
