Two-sided REFERENCE ACETATE [label and grooves on both sides.]

This is not a test pressing, but rather a 7" acetate recording, which is much more fragile & rare. [See below]  No chips, lifts, or deep scratches in the acetate.  Some light scratches/scuffs.

This is not a bootleg, but a licensed production probably for radio station usage.  Note on the labels says: "Do Not Use"; possibly due to the controversy surrounding the Midsummer Night's Scene situation.    Should be considered extremely rare.     

[Pictures are blurry, label is not, sorry]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An acetate disc (also known as a test acetate, lacquer, or transcription disc) is a type of gramophone record that is recorded directly from an audio source. Although acetates can be made from any audio source, they are typically produced from a master tape recording for testing the quality of the tape-to-disc transcription. A typical acetate disc is an aluminum disc, 10 or 12 inches in diameter, that is covered with a thin coating of nitrocellulose lacquer in which the sound groove is cut. Discs of this type can be played on any normal phonograph. Some acetates are highly prized for their rarity.
