An acetate looks like a vinyl record, but it is actually a metal plate covered in a layer of acetone. An acetate is a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record. Originally acetates were used for home recording in the days before tape recorders. A machine actually cuts the grooves into the acetate like a lathe. The acetate is used to assess whether the music has been successfully transferred to disc. It is checked by the sound engineer. There may be only one copy made of a particular recording, sometimes more are cut and sent to the studio and band members for approval. The acetate comes before making the master, and allows the sound to be checked without great expense. It is unusual for more than a dozen to be manufactured, so from the collector's point of view an acetate is a rare find indeed! If the recording is rejected the acetate may be the only record that survives. The rejected cut may simply be poor quality, however the artist may have opted to use a different take of the song, if so, the acetate becomes much more precious. The wear on an acetate is higher than that of a vinyl pressing. A chipped stylus will rip up an acetate with one play. With the higher levels, the fact that we cut the grooves as deep as possible, and today's playback styluses tracking at much lighter pressures, the acetates of today last much longer than those of the older days. Originally, an acetate of the 1940s was expected to last 5 to 10 plays. This was due to the lower sound levels, and mostly due to the stylus pressure of one ounce, or about 30 grams. Radio stations used acetates for commercials and other "spots" These lasted about 50 plays, due to the fact that they tracked them at about 5 grams.
Unless noted, every record is an original issue for the label and catalog number given. Here is a brief explanation of our grading system, followed by an overview of abbreviations you may encounter for cover and or label.
- SS Still Sealed - in factory-fresh condition
- M Mint - I don't use this grade.
- M- Mint Minus - a near perfect, probably unplayed record
- VG+ Very Good Plus close to like new with only superficial signs of use that don't affect play. Only well cared for records will grade out to VG+. Will satisfy all but the most demanding collector.
- VG Very Good - a used, reasonable copy. There will be obvious signs of wear and the possibility of light surface noise between tracks or during quiet passages, but still quite nice.
- VG- Very Good Minus - significant wear and marks and usually quite noticeable surface noise.
- G+ Good Plus. In the record world, 'Good' is not good! From here on down (Fair, Poor), we're talking about beat-up records.
