Description
THIS APPEARS TO BE AN EARLY PROTOTYPE VERSION OF WHAT EVENTUALLY BECAME THEIR FIRST ALBUM FOR VERTIGO. 5TH AVENUE BUS.IT DOES APPEAR TO HAVE DIFFERENT TRACKS ON IT AND THE 5TH AVE BUS TRACKS ARE NOT IN THE SAME ORDER AS ON THE LP TRACK LISTING. I CANT VERIFY THE TRACKS THERE ARE AS ITS NIGH ON IMPOSSIBLE TO GET EITHER AN LP OR CD OF THIS ALBUM. I'VE HAD TO USE TRACK LISTINGS FROM THE INTERNET.
JACKSON HEIGHTS ACETATE.CREDITED ONLY TO LEE JACKSON ON TRIDENT STUDIOS. NO MATRIX NUMBER, ONLY THE WORD KIPKUT SCRATCHED INTO RUN OFF GROOVE. THIS ACETATE HAS A GOOD GLOSSY SHEEN BUT DOES HAVE SOME MARKS PARTICULARLY ON SIDE TWO. SIDE ONE PLAYS FINE, SIDE TWO DOES HAVE CRACKLES. HAVING SAID THAT I HAV'NT REALLY CLEANED THIS ITEM OTHER THAN WIPING WITH A CLOTH AS MOST ACETATE COLLECTORS PREFER TO DO THIS THEIR OWN WAY.
ACETATES ARE ALSO KNOWN AS MASTER OR REFERENCE DISCS AND ARE NOT MADE OF VINYL.PROMO COPIES AND TEST PRESSINGS PALE IN COMPARISON TO ACETATES BOTH IN TERMS OF SOUND QUALITY AND RARITY. THEY WERE VERY EXPENSIVE TO MANUFACTURE SO RECORD COMPANIES USUALLY ONLY MADE 5 COPIES OF EACH ONE. AFTER THE RECORDING HAS BEEN EDITED , AN UNCUT ACETATE IS SENT TO THE MASTERING LAB WHERE IT IS PLAYED THROUGH AN ELECTRONIC LATHE SYSTEM AND ELECTRONICALLY TRANSMITTED TO A CUTTING NEEDLE SO THE THE MUSIC LITERALLY CUTS MICROSCOPIC WIGGLES ANALOGUES TO THE SOUND WAVES THAT THEY REPRESENT DIRECTLY INTO THE ACETATE COATING.. BECAUSE OF THIS AND THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE CELLULOSE THE SOUND IS SUPERIOR TO THAT OF A RECORD.
AFTER THIS PROCESS THE ACETATES WERE USUALLY DISCARDED AS USELESS AND VERY FEW SURVIVED.
ACETATES NEED TO BE TREATED WITH CARE AND SHOULD NOT BE PLAYED LIKE A RECORD.
