The League Of Gentlemen - Nothing On Tonight 7” Rare UK Single Sided Acetate

This is an unreleased track by the mid 1960s Pop/Beat group who had two other singles. Its a good uptempo track typical of this era.

This is an incredibly rare item and if not unique there can only be one or two other copies in existence. This is pretty much an unknown entity however it looks to me like a mid 1960s acetate and was found in a collection of other rare demos and white labels from the same era. More of these items will appear for sale here soon. This era is consistent with the band being active. It has been speculated that Robert Fripp had some involvement with this group and that he recycled the name for his 1980s band but there is no definitive proof of this.

Although not meant for repeated use, this acetate does play OK at about Fair to Good it has background crackle which I think is its age and the nature of the surface material not the condition. Visually its about VG both sides and as you can see still retains much of its lustre. Still acceptable to listen to but more academic with this item. I have given it a gentle clean and one careful play. What you are bidding on here is not so much a record but part of the record industry process before production so its important to consider this more like an artefact in the same way as a metal stamper. It also needs to be carefully handled as it is not vinyl but lacquer on metal, as collectors of acetates will know.

It has survived in miraculous condition with no chips or deep marks or warps. The text is handwritten, presumably in the factory.

Plain old white sleeve, this was the one it came in!

Very very rare!
