KRAFTWERK Acetates (Very rare and unique collection of ten one
sided 7" metal based vinyl acetates with Elektra labels and
custom stamped with artist name and title. This super rare set
features material from the 1991 'The Mix' double album and offers a
rare 'behind-the-scenes' peek into Kraftwerk's secretive world. We're
unlikely to see another set like this and comes highly recommended,
please see more info for full details....
TRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION
An acetate is a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record.
Originally acetates were used for home recording in the days before tape recorders, but since the advent of cassette tape & CDR are now no longer used for providing bands & their entourage copies of today's studio efforts. A machine actually cuts the grooves into the acetate like a lathe.
The acetate is used to assess whether the music has been successfully transferred to disc. It is checked by the sound engineer. There may be only one copy made of a particular recording, sometimes more are cut and sent to the studio and band members for approval.
The acetate comes before making the master, and allows the sound to be checked without great expense.
It is unusual for more than a dozen to be manufactured, so from the collector's point of view an acetate is a rare find indeed! If the recording is rejected the acetate may be the only record that survives. The rejected cut may simply be poor quality, however the artist may have opted to use a different take of the song, if so, the acetate becomes much more precious.
Kraftwerk Acetates:
Several titles are mis-labelled [Metal On Metal actually plays the middle section of Homecomputer], while every other disc feature different timings to those that were eventually released on the 'Mix' album [the first section of Trans Europe Express is longer than the album version, the version of It's More Fun To Compute/Homecomputer plays for 2:47 and is quite possibly a unique edit]. The labels are pretty cool too and feature hand-written annotations/pressing instructions stating "too long", "fade it out", "ok" etc with chromographic pen markings in the run-out grooves adding another cool touch.
