Description
U2 “ONE/LADY WITH THE SPINNING HEAD” 1991 MEGA RARE AND UNIQUE UNCUT 10” TEST PRESSING ACETATE, WITH SOUND ENGINEER HANDWRITING NOTE ON IT.
THIS IS A ONE-OF-A-KIND ACETATE!
SIDE A CONTAINS AN ALTERNATIVE MIX OF ONE. BONO’S VOICE WAS MIXED WITH ECHO AND THE MUSIC SOUNDS REALLY LOUD AND POWERFUL.
SIDE B CONTAINS A MISSPRESSED VERSION OF “LADY WITH THE SPINNING HEAD”. THE NOTE WRITTEN ON THIS SIDE IS “N/G” (NO GOOD). THE RECORDING HAS 3 BUMPS (00:07, 01:50, 2:00 MIN.)
THIS ITEM IS AN ALUMINUM DISC WITH A THIN COATING OF VINYL. IT WAS MADE IN UK AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
An acetate is a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record. Originally acetates were used for home recording in the days before tape recorders, but since the advent of cassette tape & CDR are now no longer used for providing bands & their entourage copies of today's studio efforts. A machine actually cuts the grooves into the acetate like a lathe. The acetate is used to assess whether the music has been successfully transferred to disc. It is checked by the sound engineer.
There may be only one copy made of a particular recording, sometimes more are cut and sent to the studio and band members for approval. The acetate comes before making the master, and allows the sound to be checked without great expense. It is unusual for more than a dozen to be manufactured, so from the collector's point of view an acetate is a rare find indeed! If the recording is rejected the acetate may be the only record that survives. The rejected cut may simply be poor quality, however the artist may have opted to use a different take of the song, if so, the acetate becomes much more precious.?An incredible find - possibly unique - and certainly one of only a handful.
