Description
Title: Baby You're Gonna See Me Cry
Artist: Robert Henry Hensley
Country: UK
Release Date: 1968
Label: CBS
Other Info: Real rarity, a single-sided, typed label, 1968 CBS Recording Studios acetate. Acetates are unique studio recordings usually on metal discs with thin vinyl covering, some of these will be different takes to the actual release. This acetate mix is a different cut to the eventual release, with no strings or backing singers.
Male vocal Northern Soul / Popcorn beat ballad. Sound file provided of actual disc.
Sound File
The sound file will probably not be accessible via mobile phones etc but should be via computer.
The sound file is from the actual record offered with no manipulation.
Record Condition
Visually Looks: G
Unfortunately acetates were never made for longevity, they were just basic one off listening devices, hence the audio quality is never quite as standard as the final vinyl issues are.
They have a tendency to corrode due to the metal under the thin vinyl layer (eg the metal showing through).
This one has no signs of metal showing through.
Due to the metal and antiquity they quite often are found with white pores, like a fine dust, which usually leave some amount of cloudy staining after cleaning.
Still retains good sheen. Has a lot of mostly superficial, hairlines, scuffs and marks. No clouding (the photo included has actual clouds in the sky reflected, not vinyl clouding!!).
There is a tick/skip in the first second but otherwise plays through pretty well overall, with occasional light ticks.
There might be scope to clean up the recording either manually or digitally.
Please listen to the actual disc sound file provided.

Postage
I do not allow records to be personally collected. All must be sent via postal or courier service.
I will post to most but not all countries in the World.
I will combine postage if you buy more than one item. Please wait for me to send you a revised invoice to charge you postage at cost. Postage costs are the same for 1-3 records.
All records are sent in manufactured record mailers with cardboard stiffeners. The vinyl and cover are separated to avoid seam splits in transit.
I calculate postage using the Royal mail postage calculator. I charge an extra 50p for packing materials as i buy specialist record mailers and stiffeners. Sometimes records cost less to mail than i expect. In these cases i try to refund the difference.
Grading Conditions
I grade the records condition visually only, unless I state what the record actually plays like and provide an audio MP3 sample. This is because I do not always have time to play everything, so bear this in mind.
I am strict with my grading so you can feel confident in my conclusions. My feedback will reflect this.
I do NOT use the grading ‘MINT’ (other than the very rare occasion the record is still sealed). My ‘EXCELLENT’ grading will mean the record will still have a full sheen with clean vinyl and the sleeve will be free from rips, tears, seam splits. Any further information like slight defects or type of sleeve will be in brackets after the grading.
Anyone unhappy solely with my visual grading can return item for refund. However if I have provided pictures and sound files then I do not accept returns on basis of condition.
MINT: Only used if sealed.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some light signs of having been played, but there is very little or no lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has obviously been over played, and will probably display deterioration in sound quality, it will probably have lots of fine lines and the odd scratch. Wear and tear on the cover or extra items.
