Description
TURQUOISE - TALES OF FLOSSIE (released on Decca as Tales Of Flossie Fillet)
Unique, possibly only surviving copy
Do ask for further details and I'm perfectly happy to play audio over the phone to interested bidders
Please see pics and video - the disc has survived well, overall, VERY GOOD - it plays through without any major disturbances but does have surface noise and clicks - wax has several light marks, there is some slight drop out, part way through (graded by eye and ear, please hear the audio on the video clip). Has its original polylined sleeve, some age related wear, VERY GOOD - Emidisc label is good and clean
Addenda, 23.06.24, I've replaced the video with one from better quality deck (very brief snippet of speech at intro, count in, but clipped?)
Please note, acetates are sold strictly as seen, their condition deteriorates with each play and they are extremely fragile in nature. Condition can be subjective. Sorry to insult collector's intelligence here.
Their value is often in what they contain, often unissued demos, work in progress, different mixes. It's recommended that they are dubbed immediately as a sound file. With the right software, imperfections, e.g. surface noise and clicks, can be taken out. The acetate should remain in good condition if played carefully, with a light pick up, in moderation, and stored in dry, cool conditions, for posterity as unique artefacts.
DO NOT CLEAN ACETATES WITH ALCOHOL OR ANY SOLVENTS AND KEEP OUT OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT
I provide same day service - fully guaranteed if returned promptly - item sent securely packaged using clean recycled material ♻️
