THE RUMOUR Frogs Sprouts Clogs And Krauts (Rare pair of 1978 US one sided cellulose metal based lacquer reference test pressing acetates, for the full album by Graham Parker's talented backing band. Each disc has custom Sterling Sound studio labels with artist name, tracklisting and dated '12-20-78', each housed in their own plain card sleeve taped together, with a custom Sterling Sound studio label attached to the front with artist name, label name and date 'December 20, 1978'. Obtained from a former Stiff Records employee, and remains in a really nice condition)
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATIONAn 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.
This copy is also in amazing pristine condition.
