Artist / Title: Nazareth / Razamanaz   Release Info: Original A&M Acetate(SP-4691). Features typed labels. This is from the collection of a former A&M employee. NOTE: An acetate is basically the first step in manufacturing a record. Unlike a test pressing, where there can be sometimes as many as 50 to 100 pressed, Very few acetates are made.  Acetates are lacquer-coated aluminum discs that are entirely smooth when first manufactured, They are “cut” by placing them on a lathe that has a signal fed to the cutting head from either a live source or from a recorded magnetic tape. As the music plays, grooves are cut into the soft lacquer surface. Due to the nature of this process, an acetate should not be played multiple times as it will degrade the recorded surface. They are thicker and heavier than a normal record.  Acetates are highly prized by collectors as they are akin to a demo and are indeed rare. Sometimes, songs will be later renamed or re-recorded, which makes them all the more unique.  Songs listed are as follows:  Side 1  1) Razamataz (Later renamed “Razamanaz”) 2) Alcatraz 3) Vigilante Man 4) Woke Up This Morning Side 2  1) Night Woman  2) Bad Boy (Later renamed “Bad, Bad Boy”) 3) Sold My Soul  4) Too Bad Too Sad  5) Broken Down Angel Condition: Record has nice gloss with a few cosmetic marks. Plays with light occasional audibles, mostly between songs. Includes original factory sleeve as shown.
