This is a previously unreleased 10" 78 Metal Acetate by

The singer's name may be Bill Bell (it was written in pencil on the paper sleeve, and we've had a couple other acetates with his name on it, which sounds like him)


I Did Everything To Make You Happy (two different versions)

On one side, it starts off with a false take on the song, then started again from beginning to end. One the label it's stamped "REJECT"

On the other side, it's a beautiful slower and longer version of the same song, and the label is stamped "TOO LONG" 

Neither song was released, and I don't believe this artist ever made any records.



Sounds to be from the late 1940s or 1950.



Certainly a one of a kind item, and probably the only copy in existence.


The record is in VG to VG+ condition. There is a light filament pressed in the grooves, otherwise it would have been graded higher.


You can hear samples taken with an LP needle of both sides from this acetate by clicking the player below
