UNKNOWN 1950s BLUES 78 rpm ACETATE HARD ROCK DADDY

$

48

78 RPM 12" ACETATE in VG condition (scattered light scuffs but still lots of gloss. Some light noise -- no cracks in finish).

This is a 12" demo ACETATE (read more about acetates below)

I received this acetate from an old gentleman who was involved in record distribution on the 50's and 60s. He also may have been a partner in some small record labels in the 1950s. Presumably he was given these acetates to review for a possible record release of the material

I have no idea who this great blues singer is. Sounds like a pro and someone may have an idea. I suspect something SAX KARI related and this may be his band. He had a lot to do with GREAT LAKES releases which I think this may have been recorded for. Please listen to the posted sound file.

The sound file posted is missing some content. This is to protect the rights of the auction winner and to still give bidders as much information as possible. Any removed content plays fine. The audio sample was made on a Numark turntable (with new needle)….. disc will probably sound better with a proper 78 needle and turntable.

There are no type written labels typical to most acetate demos and it is unusual to see these on 12" format. I have no doubt that they are vintage 1950s (PLEASE SEE OTHER RELATED ITEMS I HAVE CURRENTLY LISTED). There is a number in the center but that is just a lot control number from the blank acetate supplier. Still a great opportunity to own this unusual demo

ACETATES are plastic coated aluminum discs that were custom "cut" at the studio and used for demos or reference. They are meant for temporary use but will last well if stored well and played sparingly. Many of the most unique and rare moments in record collecting are recorded only on acetates
