This is an acetate of the British Invasion band Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich, known for songs such as "The Legend of Xanadu" and "Zabadak!".
This acetate came with several others, and it was the only one to have handwritten information prior to my purchase.
The A-side says "Zabadak (Poor)", and I listened to it, and, true to its name, it was a low-quality version of "Zabadak!".
The B-side is an interview that is difficult to comprehend due to the record's low quality, and it features "Zabadak!" playing in some parts.
The acetate is from 1968, and it plays at 78 rpm. Unfortunately, that is all I know, based on the information written on the labels.
I cannot guarantee skipping during the playback.
Despite its poor sound quality, it would still make an interesting collector's piece. So, I'm selling it as is. No reserve price. No returns.
Good luck!

*UPDATE ON CONDITION*
It has been several months since I actually play-tested these acetates, and I graded them as "Fair" because I remembered the sound quality was not good.
However, upon listening to them today, I realized that the music itself is quiet, but still audible (including the lyrics), which is why the acetate noise seems very loud. I have heard other acetates from eBay that were MUCH worse in sound quality, and still sold at high prices.
But I still want to be conservative in grading. I did mention that some of them do have skips.
For this acetate, and all the others I have listed, I would probably rate them between a high "Fair" and a low "Good" (maybe at the very best a medium "Good" for the ones that don't skip).
I am not a grading expert, but I try to be as accurate as possible. I am still selling the acetates "as is", so please still be aware of possible issues during playback.
Happy collecting! :)
