Description

NEIL SEDAKA 7" Metal ACETATE 1-Sided 45 SINGLE "Don't Hide Your Love".

first appeared on his 1972 album Solitaire.

Album context

  • Solitaire (1972) marked Sedaka’s early‑’70s creative resurgence, recorded during his period living and working in the UK.

  • The album includes several tracks that later became well‑known through covers, most famously the title track “Solitaire,” which became a hit for both Andy Williams and the Carpenters.

About the song

“Don’t Hide Your Love” itself wasn’t one of Sedaka’s major U.S. chart singles, but it’s notable because:

  • It was co‑written with Howard Greenfield, his longtime collaborator.

  • It was also recorded by Cher, whose version charted in 1972—helping keep the song in circulation.

CONDITION: Plays very well no noticeable surface noise when music is playing; trail-off has some normal surface noise; Beginning of track, BEFORE the music plays, there is a small spot on the record edge where the acetate is missing, NO SKIPS. There is some light surface film typical of acetates, doesn't affect play VG+; Blank flip-side has some spindle and surface marks and an area where the acetate doesn't fully cover the metal disc about 2"-3" (see pic), the rest of the acetate is firmly attached, this imperfection probably happened when the disc was initially pressed - it was like this when we purchased it; the bare spot does not affect the playing of the song - see picture. This is a wonderful song.
This 45 came from a 45 collection we purchased 20 years ago from a music business person, there were other Neil Sedaka 45 acetates, some had his name on the label and some, like this single, didn't, but it's him - guaranteed.
