The Tornados

Comes from 'UK' acetate

Granada

THE TORNADOS Granada (Extremely rare 1965 UK single sided 7" metal based high grade methyl cellulose lacquer acetate for the A-side of the single release, with hand annotated EMIDisc custom labels with 3:04 track time, title & artist, along withthe intriguing initials 'G.E.'. Very few of these are ever produced, then mostly for in-studio sonic reference, so seldom leave the studio or are destroyed once the final master is approved, so to find one with a Joe Meek composition in nice condition like this one is a real treat. The acetate shows just a little paper scuffing with age, with the occasional light surface mark & plays through without fault - A fantastic piece of UK pop history!)

Tracklisting & More Information

An acetate is normally a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record but were occasionally used for a songwriter to convey a song idea to a band or person.

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 & certainly one of only a handful that would have been produced.
