Leonard Cohen- True Love Leaves No Traces bw Iodine 10" Acetate

Acetate Once Belonged to Producer Phil Spector 

 

One 2 Sided 10” Acetate Disk with Typed Labels.

  

 

This is part of a selection of acetates, test pressings and records from the collection of a Director of Promotions for Apple Records who  also worked in the executive office of Phil Spector Productions back from the early 1970s.

Most of the acetates in this collection had standard designated acetate labels but there are some from even earlier in the audio review stage of record production that have no labels at all. Unlabled reference acetates have to be listened to on a record player in order to determine what they are.

 

 

This acetate was Phil Spector’s personal work acetate. I would say that this acetate was used for making decisions about the final mixes of the songs on the album or 45.

 

As I said, The former Apple Records employee who owned this acetate set also worked with Phil Spector on a regular basis. I was told by this employee that Phil Spector frequently discarded record production materials, recording equipment and records once he no longer needed those items.  This acetate set came from the same collection of records and acetates as the A&M Studio Label Acetates that I sold last month on Ebay that were used in producing the  “The Concert for Bangladesh”three record box on Apple Records featuring George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr and Leon Russell.

My name is Christopher Chatman and I have been writing and dealing in acetates and extremely rare music items since 1977. I have included an article in the photos that I wrote in the 1990s called "What is an acetate and why do they cost so much money? The article was published in the 1990 book "Goldmine's Rock N' Roll 45 rpm Record Price"
