Ronettes Crystals - A CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR YOU 1963 LP TEST PRESSING Phil Spector
VG+ condition
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the personal collection of a former record company executive who worked for both Apple Records and Phil Spector Productions.
Most of the acetates and test pressings in this collection had standard record studio acetate and pressing plant test pressing labels but there are some from earlier in the audio review stage of record production that have no labels at all. Unlabled reference acetates have to be listened to on a record player in order to determine what they are.
As I said, The former Apple Records employee who owned this acetate also worked with Phil Spector on a regular basis. I was told by this employee that Phil Spector would frequently discard record production materials such as acetates and test pressings, recording equipment and regular production records once he no longer needed those items.
This test pressing came from the same collection of records and acetates as the A&M Studio Label Alternate Acetates that I sold last year on Ebay that were used in producing the “The Concert for Bangladesh” three record box on Apple Records featuring George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr and Leon Russell.
Check my past and present listings for more rare Philles and Apple Records records, acetates and awards.
This acetate will come with a Letter of Authenticity signed by myself. My name is Christopher Chatman of Beyond Records and I have been writing and dealing in test pressings, acetates, gold record awards and extremely rare music items since 1977.
I wrote in the 1990s an article called "What is an acetate and why do they cost so much money? The article was published in the 1990 book "Goldmine's Rock N' Roll 45 rpm Record Price"
