PETER SELLERS / SOPHIA LOREN 1-SIDED TEST ACETATE
ARTIST:
PETER SELLERS / SOPHIA LOREN
TITLE:
PETER & SOPHIA - ONE SIDED ACETATE OF SIDE TWO..
DESCRIPTION:
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
PETER SELLERS & SOPHIA LOREN TEST ACETATE SIDE TWO WITH WRITTEN COMMENTS REGARDING THE AUDIO QUALITY IN ASSOCIATION OF "MR G MARTIN" WHO WOULD SOON GO ON TO PRODUCE THE BEATLES. GOERGE MARTIN WAS PRODUCER ON THESE RECORDINGS AND RON GOODWIN ENGINEER AT EMI STUDIOS LATER KNOWN AS ABBEY ROAD STUDIOS.AN UNUSUAL AND RARE ITEM FOR SALE. PETER SELLERS AND SOPHIA LOREN - ONE SIDED ACETATE TEST PRESSING OF SIDE TWO OF THE SUBSEQUENT LP. THE ACETATE LABEL HAS THE FADED WORDING "PETER & SOPHIA SIDE 2" WHICH IS HAND WRITTEN. THE BROWN PAPER DUST SLEEVE ACCOMPANYING THE ACETATE TEST PRESSING WHICH IS HEADED ON THE TOP LEFT HAND SIDE IN GREEN INK "PETE SELLERS & SOPHIA LOREN - PETE & SOPHIE - SIDE 2" ON THE TOP RIGHT HAND SIDE IS THE NAME "MR G MARTIN" ALSO WRITTEN IN GREEN INK. BELOW THIS AND WRITTEN IN PENCIL ARE SOME OBSERVATIONS REGARDING COMMENTS TO THE AUDIO QUALITY OF THE TEST PRESSING RECORDINGS.
COMMENTS AS FOLLOWS: THERE IS ONE WORD "XXXXED" WHICH I AM UNSURE OF, OTHERWISE I BELIEVE IT IS AN ACCURATE TRANSLATION.
TO MUCH BASS ON GRANDPA'S GRAVE. TOO MUCH BASS ON "ENGLISHMAN" TRACK, ALSO RAISE LEVEL OF SONG. LOWER XXXXED OF COMPRESSION ON AFRICA TODAY. TOO MUCH BASS ON FARE THEE WELL, ALSO RAISE SOPHIA'S VOICE ON "PLEASE BE GOOD" ENTRY.
THE ACETATE TEST PRESSING IS IN (FAIR+) CONDITION WITH A FEW NOTICEABLE SURFACE MARKS / LIGHT SCRATCHES AND GENERALLY PLAYS THROUGH FINE WITH SOME NOTICEABLE SURFACE NOISE AND A FEW CLICKS. THE ACETATE DISC DOES STICK ONCE TOWARDS THE END OF TRACK ONE. THE BROWN SLEEVE IN IN (FAIR+) CONDITION WITH A FEW TEARS AND A SEAM SPLIT LEFT HAND SIDE.
THERE IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT "MR G MARTIN" WROTE THESE COMMENTS AS HIS NAME IS WRITTEN AT THE TOP AND ALTHOUGH UNSIGNED IT DOES LOOK LIKE IT COULD BE HIS HAND WRITING FROM OTHER EXAMPLES I HAVE STUDIED AND HAS HIS TRADEMARK UNDERLINE BELOW THE COMMENTS. BEING THE RECORD PRODUCER AT THESE SESSIONS THIS INCREASES THE POSSIBILITY. THIS IS NOT AUTHENTICATED BUT RESEARCH WOULD SUGGEST THIS REFLECTS HIS HAND WRITING.
I HAVE TRIED TO DESCRIBE THIS ITEM HONESTLY.
AN HISTORIC RECORDING INVOLVING PETER SELLERS, SOPHIA LOREN AND AN EARLY GEORGE MARTIN PRODUCTION BEFORE HE BECAME WORLD FAMOUS AS PRODUCER OF THE BEATLES.
