You are bidding on a VERY RARE OFFICIAL Acetate 7" double-sided disc recorded at Abbey Road Studios of "Union of the Snake" by Duran Duran. Producing an acetate record, or more accurately a lacquer coated disc, is the next stage after recording of the Master Tapes. The acetate is an intermediate stage prior to the production of the master disc and is used for test purposes to assess the sound transfer from the master tapes to vinyl. If a sound or mix is rejected then the acetate pressed has the potential to be a unique item as there are never many copies of acetates produced, LIMITED to no more than 10 and as such are highly sought after. Double-sided discs are essentially review discs given to band members and are not sent on for the pressing and plating processes. A similar Acetate for Pink Floyd sold last month for £1,000 and looking at the market let's start the ball rolling at £500.00. Happy bidding and good luck!
