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, but since the advent of cassette tape & CDR are now no longer used for providing bands & their entourage copies of today's studio efforts. A machine actually cuts the grooves into the acetate like a lathe.

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.

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.


"Dylan" :-

Although supposedly an album of outtakes from Self-Portrait (all covers) it didn’t anger die-hard Dylan fans as much as "Self Portrait" simply because they knew Bob wasn’t to blame for this!
"Dylan" was in fact released, apparently, by Columbia without Bob’s permission as a form of revenge for (temporarily) signing with David Geffen’s Asylum label.
This is the only album in the back catalogue that Bob hasn’t officially released on CD

It is also clear that, despite sounding very similar in tone, most of these tracks are not in fact from the "Self-Portrait" sessions but they were probably recorded during the later "New Morning" sessions.

An incredible find - possibly unique - and certainly one of only a handful.

This copy is also in amazing pristine condition.

A fantastic piece of Dylan history related to probably one of the most unusual albums in his extensive back catalogue & an essential item for the serious collector !!
