AUDIODISCS
UNOPENED 12” BLANKS
Here is something that rarely turns up, a vintage full box of AudioDiscs blanks / 12” double face (RED) lacquers ready to cut.
The box came from the legendary Sellers Recording Studio in Dallas, and seems to be from the 1970s. As you can see in the photos, it is still in the original carton, and is still sealed up. Although it is well wrapped there is some staining to the paper parts on the top and bottom of the stack.
This says it is 25 discs, but I have not opened it to verify that as it is STILL SEALED. These should be ready to go for your disc cutter and are 12” so perfect for albums.
AudioDiscs was an American brand of blank lacquer disc made by Audio Devices Inc., The business was sold to Capitol Records and re-branded as "Apollo Audio Discs". With the downturn of the vinyl format in the late 80s, Capitol sold the Apollo business to one of their suppliers and the new business, Apollo Masters Corporation is one of only two manufacturers of lacquer discs remaining in the world today.
Often called "acetates" lacquer discs are used for instantaneous playback records and master discs for manufacture of records. Blank discs are placed on the turntable of the disc-cutting lathe and a music groove is cut into the blank surface. Prior to widespread usage of magnetic tape, radio stations and studios all used disc-cutting lathes. It was not unusual for an artist to leave the recording studio with an "acetate" under their arm or record company staff to have a few discs cut to rush them to radio stations for promotional use.
CONDITION: unopened in original box. This is a 13 pound box.
