Description
This is a one-sided acetate of the classic song "Ooby Dooby" by Roy Orbison.
This acetate came along with a few others, and I have no idea about its age or origin. My estimate is that it might be from the 1960s or '70s (maybe late '50s?), since one of the other acetates in the lot was confirmed to be from 1968.
The labels were originally blank, so I wrote what I could decipher.
The playback is not good, and I cannot guarantee skipping.
Despite its poor sound quality, it would still make an interesting collector's piece. So, I'm selling it as is. No reserve price. No returns.
Good luck!
*UPDATE ON CONDITION*
It has been several months since I actually play-tested these acetates, and I graded them as "Fair" because I remembered the sound quality was not good.
However, upon listening to them today, I realized that the music itself is quiet, but still audible (including the lyrics), which is why the acetate noise seems very loud. I have heard other acetates from eBay that were MUCH worse in sound quality, and still sold at high prices.
But I still want to be conservative in grading. I did mention that some of them do have skips, but this one did not, at least in my case.
For this acetate, and all the others I have listed, I would probably rate them between a high "Fair" and a low "Good" (maybe at the very best a medium "Good" for the ones that don't skip).
I am not a grading expert, but I try to be as accurate as possible. I am still selling the acetates "as is", so please still be aware of possible issues during playback.
Happy collecting! :)
