What's the big deal about acetate? I've never found out why some collectors dig it so much.

I'm gonna keep my eye on it!!!! I wonder what his reserve price is? I wonder if it will go for as much as that Vevet Undergound went for last week!!!!

I consider RRROOOAAARRR much more important in music history than anything Lou Reed put out

I would think because you'd own something that was a part of the actual recording process..something the public never had access to...making it a very unique item... the transition piece between recording and vinyl.

So the acetate is somewhat the first actual transfer of music onto something that plays? Why is it transfered onto acetate and not vinyl the first time? Or is acetate vinyl? I NEED TO KNOW!!!

The acetates are made for a final "ok" from the band and label people involved in the release ,before creating the die that's going to press all the vinyls. (well, that's how i remember it anyway)

An acetate is a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record
Originally acetates were used for home recording in the days before tape recorders. A machine actually cuts the grooves into the acetate like a lathe. This can be computerised, or done manually by the engineer.
The acetate is used to assess whether the music has been successfully transferred to disc. It is checked by the sound engineer. There may be only one copy made of a particular recording, sometimes more are cut and sent to the studio and band members for approval.
The acetate comes before making the master, and allows the sound to be checked without great expense. Sometimes DJs and remixers will get acetates cut in order to have an exclusive mix to play out!
It is unusual for more than a dozen to be manufactured, so from the collector's point of view an acetate is a rare find indeed! If the recording is rejected the acetate may be the only record that survives. The rejected cut may simply be poor quality, however the artist may have opted to use a different take of the song, if so, the acetate becomes much more precious.

there you go.

How is this any different than a testpressing? I can see that they went through the trouble to type out a label for it, so it DOES seem at least a little different, they should post the matrix so we can find outif it's made with the same plates as the German pressing... I have a zillion testpresses, no big deal there.

All the best,
PAULIE

I was wondering the same thing...

I know for a fact that when my band Woodrot www.myspace.com/woodrot did a 7-inch (sorry, I couldn't resist the promotion, haha!!) we got a test pressing back before we finally agreed on a thousand copies...seems like the same scenario to me.

Well, final bid was $76.01 and the reserve was not met, so nobody gets it unless the seller desides to let it go for that. If it was Killing Tech, Dim Hatross, Nothingface, Outer Limits, or Angel Rat I would have definitley been bidding, but since rrroooaaarrr isn't one of my favs I couldn't justify putting out the big bucks.

It's not my favourite either, but I'm quite surprised it didn't get more than that.

On a different note, I've still got a copy of Nothingface on original cassette tape and I'm holding on to it, if only for its sentimental value

Fuck Noise. I gave away my 'Nothingface' cd, it only had adds in the booklet and none of the other artwork. I only have the Noise vinyl pressing now, which at least has the other paintings and bandphoto and credits and stuff. No lyrics though...
