A VERY VERY RARE ABBA ITEM, A TEST ACETATE DISC OF "THE NAME OF THE GAME", UNPLAYED, MADE AT THE CBS STUDIOS IN WHITFIELD ST LONDON,IN 1977.THERE WERE PROBABLY ABOUT 10 ONLY MADE, THEY WERE VERY EXPENSIVE TO PRODUCE.
I WAS WORKING AT CBS AT THE TIME AND WAS GIVEN THIS TO PROMOTE AND SELL THE SINGLE.
THEY ARE BREAKABLE, AND WILL PLAY ON A NORMAL TURNTABLE, BUT WILL NOT LAST AS LING AS VINYL.
AN ACETATE WAS THE FIRST TRANSFER FROM MASTERTAPE TO ACETATE DISC AND THE DISC THEN USED IN THE PROCESS OF PRESSING 45 VINYL DISCS,ALSO USED FOR TESTING QUALITY OF TAPE TO DISC TRANSFER.
AN ACETATE DISC IS CREATED BY USING A RECORDING LATHE TO CUT A SOUND MODULATED GROOVE INTO THE SURFACE OF A SPECIAL LAQUER COATED BLANK DISC,A REAL TIME OPERATION REQUIRING EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT AND EXPERT SKILL.
