Description
Record is mostly VG+, but on side Two there are 3 scratches in the acetate covering, so I really would not play the record over those areas...there is one right at the beginning of the side that only affects a couple of revolutions, and the two others are on tracks 4 and 5. Side One looks fine.
If you are not familiar with acetates, they are not vinyl. This is a metal record produced by the record company with a very think film of vinyl covering it that is only to approve the record. It is not meant to be played and played. On the upside, these were usually cut directly from the master recording by the label, so the audio can by very good, and sometimes the songs themselves are different takes/cuts than the commercially produced version.
This is more of a rare piece of Pontiac nostalgia / history than anything else. It would be a great display for someone who shows a 1970 GTO or a 1971 Trans Am or Lemans!
I believe this reference recording was the approval record for the Pontiac execs to approve here in the Detroit area. It came from a Detroit estate sale, along with another one (see my other items). It has a name on the front who must have been a decision maker for the Division.
Among the song titles were popular favorites of the day such as
Simon and Garfunkel - Feelin' Groovy
Santana - Waiting
Blood Sweat & Tears - I Can't Quit Her
Thanks for looking!
