They are blank discs that have the music CUT into their lacquer coated surface – one by one. They can be taken home for the musician to listen to on their stereo system or they can be used as the master for the production of records.

As for the speculation on Mo Tucker’s acetate, if they’re commercial studio recordings there is no reason for the sound quality to be poor. The disc was more than likely cut from the original master tape at the same studio where the recording sessions took place.

Today, a musician can leave the recording studio with a copy of the recordings on CD. Before the advent of CD, they left the studio with an acetate or a cassette. If they didn’t like what they heard, they could record or remix those songs again at the next session.

We now represent one of the rarest John Lennon recordings in album format and that would be the Acetate for “The Wedding Album”. Given to a capitol rep years ago, it comes from his estate and we will be selling it shortly on Ebay. Tell your friends and feel free to ask questions.
I’ve never seen a Wedding Album Acetate and this might be the only one to exist.

We recently were approached with the lost master for Pink Floyd’s “A Momentary Lapse of Reason”. We are hoping to bring this to market in the price range of $75,000 to $125,000.
