What is an ACETATE ?......

Unlike ordinary vinyl records, which are quickly formed from lumps of plastic by a mass-production molding process, an acetate disc is created by using a recording lathe to cut an audio-signal-modulated groove into the surface of a special lacquer-coated blank disc, a real-time operation requiring expensive, delicate equipment and expert skill for good results. It is not unusual for the actual real time recording process to go straight to acetate. They are made for special purposes, almost never for sale to the general public. They can be played on any normal record player but will suffer from wear more quickly than vinyl. Some acetates are highly prized for their rarity, especially when they contain rare material.

Acetates are typically produced by dubbing from the Master tape recording. By electroplating the acetate master, stampers (special moulds) can be created, which in turn are used to press large quantities of regular vinyl records. Acetates are also used for testing the quality of the tape-to-disc transfer. Historically, they were also a favoured medium for use in comparing different takes or mixes, and for getting preview copies of impending new releases into the hands of important disc jockeys. They were usually discarded and to find a rare acetate is a real bonus.
