Description

THE SPECIALS A Message To You Rudi 8" one sided ACETATE TWO TONE very rare.

This auction is for an 8" one sided acetate of The Specials' second Two Tone single A Message To You Rudy.

It was manufactured at the CBS Recording Studios, Whitfield Street, London in preparation for its 1979 commercial release. 

The acetate is in good condition. It looks like it has been professionally cleaned at some stage.

PLEASE NOTE MOST ACETATES ARE NOT MEANT TO BE PLAYED REPEATEDLY. I have never played this one in the 5 or 6 years I have owned it. 

It comes in a Pyral custom paper sleeve manufactured in France. I am guessing this means that Pyral made the basic blank acetate discs which were then lathe cut in the mastering studio. 

I will only ship the item within the UK. Postage will be Royal Mail Special Delivery (despite what the postage section might say- Special Delivery is not one of eBay's named options). It will be carefully packaged and insured up to its full sale value, whatever that may be. I will pay the postage.
