THE LABEL STATES 21'9'71 AND JUST SAYS DAVID BOWIE SIDE ONE & TWO. NOTHING IN MATRIX. ACETATES ARE ALSO KNOWN AS MASTER OR REFERENCE DISCS AND ARE NOT MADE OF VINYL.PROMO COPIES AND TEST PRESSINGS PALE IN COMPARISON TO ACETATES BOTH IN TERMS OF SOUND QUALITY AND RARITY. THEY WERE VERY EXPENSIVE TO MANUFACTURE SO RECORD COMPANIES USUALLY ONLY MADE 5 COPIES OF EACH ONE. AFTER THE RECORDING HAS BEEN EDITED , AN UNCUT ACETATE IS SENT TO THE MASTERING LAB WHERE IT IS PLAYED THROUGH AN ELECTRONIC LATHE SYSTEM AND ELECTRONICALLY TRANSMITTED TO A CUTTING NEEDLE SO THE THE MUSIC LITERALLY CUTS MICROSCOPIC WIGGLES ANALOGUES TO THE SOUND WAVES THAT THEY REPRESENT DIRECTLY INTO THE ACETATE COATING.. BECAUSE OF THIS AND THE HIGH QUALITY OF THE CELLULOSE THE SOUND IS SUPERIOR TO THAT OF A RECORD. AFTER THIS PROCESS THE ACETATES WERE USUALLY DISCARDED AS USELESS AND VERY FEW SURVIVED. ACETATES NEED TO BE TREATED WITH CARE AND SHOULD NOT BE PLAYED LIKE A RECORD. TO VERIFY THIS ACETATE I HAVE HAD TO PLAY JUST A SNIP OF EACH TRACK AND CAN CONFIRM THAT THE TRACKS ARE THE SAME AS ON THE LP. HOWEVER WHEN COMPARING THE ACETATE TO THE VINYL RECORD THERE ARE DICREPENCIES IN THE LENGTHOF CERTAIN TRACKS.THEY ARE AS FOLLOWS SIDE ONE CHANGES - ACETATE IS SAME OH YOU PRETTY THINGS- ACETATE IS LONGER LIFE ON MARS- ACETATE IS SAME KOOKS- ACETATE IS SAME QUICKSAND- ACETATE IS MUCH LONGER SIDE TWO FILL YOUR HEART- ACETATE IS MUCH LONGER ANDY WARHOL- ACETATE IS SHORTER SONG FOR BOB DYLAN - ACETATE IS SAME QUEEN BITCH - ACETATE IS SAME THE BEWLAY BROTHERS- ACETATE IS MUCH LONGER CONDITION BOTH SIDES HAVE A  ABOUT EIGHT TO TEN MARKS BUT I DONT THINK THEY ARE BAD ENOUGH TO CAUSE JUMPS, OTHERWISE THE COATING IS GLOSSY WITH NO DAMAGE THE ACETATE IS HOUSED IN A TRIDENT STUDIOS CARDBOARD SLEEVE.    On 04-Oct-08 at 14:05:35 BST, seller added the following information:PLEASE NOTE VARIATION OF TRACKS IS A VISABLE COMPARISON AS THE ACETATE HAS NOT BEEN PLAYED THROUGH TO PRESERVE CONDITION Place a Bid!
