HELP ME TO HELP YOU UNKNOWN BAND UNRELEASED? RARE 60's GARAGE PSYCH ACETATE HEAR

$

52

This is a single-sided 45 RPM 10" METAL ACETATE single by an unknown garage/psychedelic group of the song "Help Me To Help You" (attributed to the publisher Absolutely Music) on Tower Sound Studios Inc. label (the reverse side shows it's an Allied acetate). This song has a really cool, garagey-psychedelic sound and I have no idea if this song was ever released or if this is a demo disc meant to help sell the song to a band. All in all this song is pretty great, the playing is tight and the vocals sound really strong (the lead singer hits the high notes with ease). Hey man, I really dig this sound and I think you will too!!! It's times like these, that get me frustrated, that such cool music goes unattributed by name, and may never be known, respected and attributed to the band that recorded it.

You'll find in my auctions this week, that I have 2 other acetates under the title of Listen To My Eyes, and the song on the acetate in this auction (Help Me To Help You), has a similar musical vibe, instrumentation and vocal as the 2 auctions for the "Listen To My Heart" acetates, so possibly they might all be by the same band. You can view those auctions to read a little more about what I believe I found in relation to this mystery band on those other 2 acetates, in case it can shed a little light on the band on this acetate.

Just a note for those unfamiliar with metal acetates - these records are extra heavy from the center of the record being made of metal. These records are the first versions ever made from the master tapes (even before test pressings or promo copies and sound the best) for the purpose of feedback on the mix by those involved in the recording process. These discs were expensive to make, so very few, if no more than a handful are usually made and as you can imagine, these discs are quite RARE and sometimes the mixes can be different from the final release. These were never meant to be available to the public, so in you're a fan or collector, now's your chance to get something extrememely RARE!!!

PLEASE NOTE: I have over 30 ACETATES and TEST PRESSINGS up for auction this week, along with a mixture of 100 or more 45's and LP's! With that said, please make sure you check them all out! If you win multiples, I'll combine them into one package to save you $$$ on S/H!!!

This 10"er comes in a paper sleeve and has a glued-on, type-written label on the A-side. There's a small bit of sticker residue on the label. The vinyl on this 45 is in very good plus - excellent condition with a couple whispy sleeve marks and plays solidly!!! I didn't attempt any physical cleaning on this fragile Acetate, for fear of damage. If you wish to physically clean it or even import it into your computer to edit it to make it sound as pristine, I'll leave that up to you. You can hear sound samples of the side/song below, which is from the actual record in this auction. Please see the photos below to view the label condition. This is a really RARE & COOL Acetate collectible, make sure you bid today!!! AND DON'T FORGET TO CHECK OUT MY OTHER TWO ACETATES, POSSIBLY BY THE SAME BAND!!!!!
