Description

1-SIDED 12" MASTER ROOM ACETATE CUT STRAIGHT FROM THE STUDIO OF THE SMITHS 'THERE IS A LIGHT THAT NEVER GOES OUT'.

THOSE OF YOU WHO DO NOT KNOW WHAT AN ACETATE IS, THE RECORD COLLECTOR RARE RECORD PRICE GUIDE DESCRIBES THEM AS A "ONE-OFF DISC CUT BY HAND IN A MASTERING STUDIO, USED FOR DEMONSTRATION PURPOSES".  I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THESE WOULD BE CUT STRAIGHT FROM THE MASTER TAPES TO ALLOW THE BAND OR PRODUCER A FIRST HEARING OF HOW IT WOULD SOUND ON VINYL.  ACETATES ARE DIFFERENT TO VINYL AS THE RAW MATERIAL IS DIFFERENT, AND THE SURFACE IS MADE OF LACQUER.  THEY ARE MUCH HEAVIER THAN VINYL RECORDS AND ARE VERY DISTINCTIVE SIMPLY BY THE SMELL AND THAT THEY FEEL VERY COLD.

THE PRINTED WRITING ROUND THE LABEL STATES "THE MASTER ROOM COMPANY LIMITED 59/61 RIDINGHOUSE STREET W1P 7PP   01-637 223/4"

THIS IS A ONE-OFF, YOU WILL NOT SEE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE ON EBAY OR ANYWHERE ELSE, LET'S DO THOSE SUMS AGAIN..........IT IS A ONE OFF!!!

CONDITION IS EXCELLENT+, I CANNOT SPEAK FOR THE PREVIOUS OWNER, BUT I HAVE NEVER PLAYED THIS.

POSTAGE COSTS AS FOLLOWS:

UK - £3.50

EUROPE - £6.50

REST OF WORLD - £8.50

POSTAGE DISCOUNT ON MULTIPLE BUYS.
