Description
Two years ago, I had the good fortune to buy the complete music collection of one of the two directors of the Australian label, Regular Records, including a huge storage space containing the entire Regular Records Archives. I sold a few odd items about a year ago, and the (huge!) balance has remained untouched...until now. It's time to get amongst it all and pull out some nice items...so here goes.
The Archives was loaded with master tapes, video masters, contracts, complete files on each artist...as well as mint copies of virtually EVERY vinyl, CD, and cassette release, plus vinyl test pressings...AND...a few very rare ACETATES!...and this...is one of those.
ARTIST: ICEHOUSE -
TITLES:
'A' Side: "HEY LITTLE GIRL" (7:00) + "GLAM" (3:16)"
'B' Side: "GLAM" (6:40) .
FORMAT: …3-SONG, 2-SIDED 12" ACETATE…
LABEL: STUDIOS 301 - CUSTOM MASTERING.
CAT. #: [no catalogue number, and no matrix number] .
DATE: 24/11/1982 .
PRESSED IN: AUSTRALIA (at EMI's Studio 301 cutting room) .
Comes in its original plain white die-cut paper sleeve. Beautiful custom label with handwritten info. There are no inscriptions engraved into the vinyl.
The Regular director confirmed that this was the only one of this acetate made...and also that it was NOT the final cut as used for the officially-released 12" single. (The acetate for that was sent off to assist in the manufacture of the record itself and had appropriate matrix information engraved into the run-off grooves.)
I found it amongst a small group of acetates in a box (which I finally emptied out today) that looked like it hadn't been opened for the 25+ years since the last one had been added to it. It was so heavy and was one of the last boxes I found as it was way at the back under everything else...but it did have the single magic word "ACETATES" scrawled on it. I'd bought the goldmine, and here was the gold!
Please note that I'll take special care in packing this.
CONDITION:
COVER / RECORD: ( - / M-) ...record is so close to pristine - clean and very shiny...it's in virtually perfect condition (just has a couple of tiny scuffs - no marks or scratches whatsoever - beautiful!)...
If you have any concerns about the accuracy of my gradings, please check my feedback for the odd nice comment from some satisfied folk out there.... (and hopefully you may be able to join their ranks).
==============================Thanks for considering this...Cheers, Jules.
