Rare 1970 Beatles EMI Abbey Road acetate featuring
The Long And Winding Road, Teddy Boy, Baby You're A Rich Man.
Thick vinyl, ten-inch acetate of The Beatles performing three tracks: The Long And Winding Road, Teddy Boy and Baby You’re A Rich Man. This single-sided disc was cut at EMI Studios (Abbey Road) by chief cutting engineer Harry Moss, whose handwriting is on the label. It is in a plain white paper polylined sleeve.
The Long and Winding Road and Teddy Boy are unreleased January 1969 recordings from the film sessions for the Get Back project, which eventually became Let It Be. The Baby You’re A Rich Man featured on this disc is the master version, as issued on the B-side of All You Need Is Love and the US Magical Mystery Tour album.
Although these versions of The Long And Winding Road and Teddy Boy have been available as bootlegs since the early 1970s, this official EMI acetate is extremely rare.
The disc is absolutely authentic and original, not a modern repro or fake. It was inherited from a former EMI Records executive who worked with The Beatles’ recordings from the end of the 1960s. It is in good condition and has only been played once in the last twenty years. Due to its age the glue on the sleeve has lost its stickiness.
Payment is by PayPal only.
Since an acetate is not meant to be played more than a few times, on this occasion I cannot accept returns, as the buyer will probably have played the acetate and thus decreased its value. If this condition is not acceptable please do not place a bid.
Please be aware that if the disc is to be sent outside of the UK there may be additional postage costs, depending on the destination and the buyer's preferred form of dispatch. Please contact me for information on this.
