RARE ACETATE by The Guytones on Soundcraft. "Ooh Bop Sha Boo" and "Ooh Bop Sha Boo (No Good)"
The acetate is in VG+ / VG condition. (Side 1 / Side 2) This is a second, of two, extremely rare acetate records by the 1957  Doo Wop group The Guytones that I am listing. Please see my earlier listing. I am very convinced that this acetate is by the Doo Wop group - The Guytones despite their being no name of the artist on the label. I compared this record to the  Guytones song "Ooh Bop Sha Boo"(on youtube) and it is a match and it certainly  sounds the same as what is recorded on this acetate. The "A" side song "Ooh Bop Sha Boo" was released as the "B" side of this group's very first single on the Deluxe label in 1957. The "B" side of this acetate also contains the song "Ooh Bop Sha Boo" but on the acetate label it is marked as "No Good." This is most likely an earlier and inferior take that was not the side that was to be promoted and used to press  records with. It sounded slightly different from the "A" side of this acetate. To make sure that this "B" side was not mistakenly used at all, I believe that the studio put little horizontal scratch marks in the vinyl to make sure there was absolutely no confusion as to which side of this acetate was to be used. The "B" side played fine without any skipping on my turntable, but these marks do have some impact on the sound quality. Luckily, these scuffs are not very deep at all, and the record played reasonably well with only some minor pops. I provided a full scan of the "B" side of this acetate so that you can hopefully see these marks. This is an extremely rare one of a kind record that was recorded in 1957 !!











For the next month or two I will be listing a bunch of 45 rpm records. I have about a 100 to list. These records belonged to my father who was an obsessive record collector. The records are mostly from the late 1950's and early 1960's. The records are early rock and roll records and many of the records are doo wop / vocal group, teen, early R&B, and northern soul. I even have two extremely rare acetates that will be listed in this lot. They are from an, as of yet, unknown doo wop group. (I will provide more details later) There are many odd labels, and there also are many radio station promotional records. Most of the records are very hard to find  and some of them are extremely rare. I will be listing all of them with a low opening bid with no reserve.So please check back and keep an eye on my auctions.  I will gladly combine items to save on shipping for all ebay customers. In the USA, the additional shipping charge will be 50 cents for each record wonafter the first one. For customers outside of the USA, I will have to figure the combined shipping charge at the end based on the weight of the package. Obviously, the heavier the package the higher the shipping  charge.  Thanks for looking.
