Description
This is an acetate pressing by Sterling Sound, Inc. featuring MEATLOAF. . Condition is Excellent - it plays very well. The backside, as in most acetates of the period, is not blank but contains Side 2 of this best-selling LP. Acetate pressings were usually done for the producer, the artists, and the engineer in order to listen to the final product before the single or album (LP) were mass produced for the public. Acetate recordings have a familiar odor that will persist for generations due to the chemical processes used to manufacture them and the mustard color sleeves used to preserve them. Once they were listened to a specific number of times, they were usually discarded or recycled due to the aluminum plate then being re-used. This is a piece of music history as for the most part, only a select few were selected to listen to the pre-mastering acetate: the artists, producers, etc, and they are very rare!
