On offer here is quite simply one of the RAREST LPs you will EVER see (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Rollng Stones called "Dirty Work" and is the an 1985 Set of 2 'One-Sided' Acetates made nearly 4 months before this LP was eventually released!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS!!!!  IN FACT, IT IS QUITE SIMPLY COMPLETELY UNIQUE!!!!  AND INCREDIBLY, THESE ACETATES WERE MADE ON DECEMBER 2ND 1985 - WHILST THIS LP WAS STILL BEING FINISHED!!!!  THESE 2 'ONE-SIDED' SET OF ACETATES WERE SPECIALLY MADE TO LISTEN TO THE TRACKS AFTER THEY HAD BEEN RECORDED!!!!  AT THE TIME - NO TITLE HAD BEEN THOUGHT OF FOR THE LP, HENCE THERE IS NO TITLE ON THE LABELS OR COVER!!!!  AND EVEN MORE INTERESTINGLY THE ACETATES HAVE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RUNNING ORDER TO THE EVENTUALLY RELEASED LP!!!!  BUT MOST INTERESTINGLY OF ALL - IS THAT NEARLY ALL OF THE TRACKS HAVE A DIFFERENT RUNNING TIME TO THE RELEASED VERSIONS, AND SOME HAVE DIFFERENT MIXES ASWELL!!!!  AND WHILST SOME TRACKS ARE ONLY 1 OR 2 SECONDS LONGER THAN THE RELEASED VERSIONS - 'TOO RUDE' IS 7 SECONDS LONGER THAN THE RELEASED VERSION, AND INCREDIBLY 'BACK TO ZERO' IS 12 SECONDS LONGER!!!!  AND BECAUSE NEARLY EVERY TRACK IS DIFFERENT TO THE RELEASED VERSIONS - IT CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THIS WAS NOT THE FINISHED VERSION!!!!  THESE ACETATES ALSO DO NOT INCLUDE THE HIDDEN TRACK 'KEY TO THE HIGHWAY' WHICH APPEARS ON THE RELEASED VERSIONS - AS THESE ACETATES WERE MADE BEFORE IT WAS ADDED!!!!  AND THIS PROBABLY EXPLAINS WHY THE TRACK LENGTHS ON THESE ACETATES ARE LONGER THAN THE EVENTUALLY RELEASED VERSION!!!!  FOR IN TOTAL - THE TRACKS ON THIS ACETATE ARE 28 SECONDS LONGER THAN THE RELEASED VERSION, AND THE 'EXTRA HIDDEN TRACK' (WHICH WAS LATER ADDED ON THE RELEASED VERSION) WAS 33 SECONDS LONG!!!!  SO CLEARLY PARTS OF THE OTHER TRACKS WERE REMOVED TO COMPENSATE FOR THIS EXTRA 'HIDDEN TRACK' BEING ADDED!!!!  AND THIS OF COURSE MAKES THESE ACETATES OF THE UTMOST RARITY - AND THE ULTIMATE ROLLNG STONES COLLECTABLE!!!!  THESE WERE UNDOUBTEDLY THE ONLY ACETATES EVER MADE - AND ARE COMPLETELY UNIQUE!!!!  AND SO THESE 2 ACETATES ARE TREMENDOUSLY IMPORTANT - NOT JUST FOR THEIR DIFFERENT MIXES, BUT ALSO FOR THE TRACK ORDER, AND DIFFERENT TRACK TIMES ASWELL!!!!  AND YOU SIMPLY CANT GET ANY EARLIER OR RARER THAN THIS - AS THESE ACETATES WERE MADE BEFORE THE LP WAS EVEN FINISHED!!!! 

NOT ONLY THAT - BUT THESE ACETATES COME WITH THEIR ORIGINAL GATEFOLD 'STICKERED' ACETATE GATEFOLD COVER!!!!  THE COVER IS CLEARLY ORIGINAL FROM THE DAY THESE ACETATES WERE MADE - AND SPECIALLY MADE FOR ACETATES USED IN THE STUDIO AT THAT TIME, WITH A LABEL (WHICH MATCHES THE RECORD LABELS!) BEING ADDED TO TITLE EACH ACETATE!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THESE IMPOSSIBLY RARE ACETATES HAVE SURVIVED IN AMAZING CONDITION - AND IT IS DOUBTFUL IF THEY HAVE EVER BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! 

PLEASE ALSO NOTE - THAT THESE ACETATES ARE 100% GENIUNE IN EVERY RESPECT (AND NOT DODGY FAKES!), WITH 'APOLLO' & '443736' STAMPED ON THE BLANK SIDE OF EACH ACETATE BY THE CENTRE HOLE!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1985 SET OF 2 'ONE-SIDED' ACETATES (FROM WAY BEFORE THE LP WAS EVEN FINISHED!) ON ULTRA RARE MASTERDISK ACETATE LABELS, ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVES, AND ORIGINAL GATEFOLD 'STICKERED' COVER!!!!  THESE SET OF ACETATES ARE SERIOUSLY RARE AND COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (THEY ARE UNIQUE!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Set Of 2 'One-Sided' Acetates from 1985 and are in SUPERB condition!!!!  And of course GENIUNE Unfinished Acetates DONT have 'Cat Numbers' (as when these acetates were made - a Cat Number hadnt been allocated yet!)!!!!

The record labels on BOTH acetates are in AMAZING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and NO spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THESE ACETATES HAVE BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  BOTH acetates are in SUPERB condition!!!!  They BOTH have NO marks, NO flaking, NO cracking, NO scratches, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light hairline traces, NO scufflines, absolutely NO sounding marks of ANY kind, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  One acetate also has very VERY light 'bag sweat' traces under light (NOT from any wear - simply from long term storage!). THE ACETATES STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL SHINE AND LUSTER!!!!  It is also great to find that the acetates play as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  PLEASE NOTE - it is VERY obvious that these acetates have NOT been cleaned in ANY way AT ALL and I have only played them through ONCE on the VERY lightest possible needle setting to avoid ANY damage!!!!  They play with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and only some VERY slight background crackle (which is common to all acetates) on the VERY quietest parts ONLY!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  BOTH acetates must MEGA STRICTLY grade Excellent(Minus) if not better - though in acetate terms from the mid 1980s these are more like Mint(Minus), as acetates from this period virtually NEVER turn up in better condition than these (unless they are dodgy fakes)!!!!  WHAT A SUPERB SET OF ACETATES!!!!  Believe me these acetates are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The acetates also come in their ORIGINAL inner sleeves which are in SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 'Stickered' Gatefold Cover (specially made for acetates ONLY!) is in SUPERB condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, NO sticker marks, NO grubbyness, barely ANY yellowing AT ALL, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THESE SET OF ACETATES ARE QUITE SIMPLY AN AMAZING RARITY AND COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (THEY ARE UNIQUE!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
