Description
Engelbert Humperdink Studio Reference Acetate for Engelbert's #1 album "After The Lovin'" on Epic Records 1976.
Two-disc acetate set for the album.
Both album "B"-sides are blank. Labels are clean, with reference numbers and "4th cut" written on one label. Jacket is plain-white generic and shows some wear.
Albums appear to have not been played.
Tentative song titles are written on the record sleeves, although they aren't the titles used on the final album.
Never saw any cool Engelbert stuff like this on EBay...don't pass on this!!

While this acetate is in a beautiful state of preservation, we do expect bidders to understand that the aluminum-based, shellac-coated acetates can never be graded by using the exact, same stringent standards used by collectors for modern long-play, hi-fi LPs or singles. The buyer – if not familiar with acetate (reference) recordings - should be cautioned that these discs were intended for brief, limited use only; they were meant to be played only a few times, then discarded or destroyed. In view of this, the surface layer of the disc is manufactured in such a manner that it will wear off pretty quickly, even under normal conditions -- and specially if not handled with due care. Each subsequent playing increases wear and tear of the disc’s surface layer and diminishes the disc’s playability. This disc appears to have been unplayed recently and the grooves are still well-formed and fully visible.
