The Pretty Things

Comes from 'South Africa' acetate

Honey I Need Your Loving

THE PRETTY THINGS Honey I Need Your Loving (Very rare 1967 South African single sided 33RPM mono metal based ultra high grade methyl cellulose lacquer acetate including both sides of their single release, with the second track being Don't Bring Me Down. This number [TF734] was used for a Julie Felix single the year before in the UK. The acetate label is plain and hand typed with the Artist, titles of the songs & 'Southern Music (Pty) Ltd' publishing information. This copy still has the 'Return to Audio Dept NOT APPROVED' text diecut paper sleeve which also has typewritten details on the reverse along with a rubber stamped date of '8 JUL 1967'. Notoriously fragile, this copy has survived the last forty five years relatively unscathed and remains in beautiful condition!)

Tracklisting & More Information

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

This copy is also in amazing pristine condition.
