The Rolling Stones 'Stones Golden B Sides' (Unofficial Release)
12" Acetate/Demo/sample Disk (Stereo)
Decca Recording: Cat No:SXL 5165  (1973)
Incredible Rare Item , This Metal Acetate Disc Is Very Collectable in any Condition!








I am selling this acetate and a few other acetates on behalf of a friend.  Very interesting and Incredibly rare and collectable in any condition. Here on offer is a genuine Acetate, a recording of the unofficial release album of 'The Rolling Stones' "Stones Golden B Sides. I am selling this disk as an acetate as it is, and nothing else because I do not know the original history of this item.
Important Please note: I do not know the early history or background to this acetate and I can not state and do not state, that this was an original that was used to demo the first recordings of this album. The only thing that I can confirm is that it is a metal acetate. Noted for their familier pungent smell (only found on acetates) This disk is very heavy.
These acetates were used to demonstrate recordings to disk and are not meant or designed to be played many times.
I have played the disk throughout and recorded the complete album so that you can hear this for yourself in the player below. It is noted that there are surface marks/scratches on the disc and a small mark noted at the very start/intro to the first track on side 1 causes interference/ a minor skip at this point to mention there are no loud constant clicks or pops and no distortion as I heard it in my personal opinion. Static background/crackle/ticks is noted /heard during isolated quiet places and in between tracks (common on metal acetates) but overall a very enjoyable and playable disc.

Hear the complete recording of the disc in the player below! Actual recording from the disc!

This is a stereo Metal Acetate UK test pressing (Factory/Demonstration sample) of an unofficial / unreleased Decca Rolling Stones compilation album



The Disc This is a thick and heavy 12" metal acetate disc. The disc lays perfectly flat on the turntable and is free of any warping. Visually I see some light surface marks /scratches noted on the playing surface. But fortunately nothing that would cause or caused any loud constant clicks or pops that I heard. It is noted that a small mark causes interference/slight skip at the intro to side 2 worth to mention: I can confirm that this is a metal acetate disc. There are no markings or matrix numbers stamped or etched on the run off grooves. These Metal acetates have a familier pungent smell and are heavy only found with acetates.

The Audio Quality The audio is clear and very vibrant throughout. A real raunchy rock sound produced. Note: This is a stereo recording. There are no loud constant clicks or pops. Overall a superb sounding disc. The audio is rich and very vibrant throughout. Note: A small mark/scratch causes some interference at the intro to the first track side 2 to mention. isolated static crackle/ticks is noted, heard in quieter places and indeed perhapes heard at some intros and in between tracks and perhapes isolated ticks may be heard. (common on metal acetates) but during the main audio sounds absolutely stunning!  There is no distortion or signs that this has been overplayed. Audio graded at least excellent to excellent plus for the most part in my opinion! (light static crackle heard in quiet places common on acetates) Hear the full recording for your self in the player provided above remember this is a metal acetate for demonstration perposes and was not meant to be played many times.
The record sleeve This is a Decca serpier sleeve poly lined paper sleeve no splits or tears becoming fragile with age only.
The disk is also house in a plain white card sleeve (See Photos) Note: The album was never officialy released, there is no original cover with this copy.
