De-to Posted May 27, 2009 Posted May 27, 2009 YOU TELL EM TAFF OR I WILL SET MY DOG BUBBLES ON THEM DAVE KIL what about the four tops emidisc thingy the same seller has,???,
Cover-up Posted May 28, 2009 Posted May 28, 2009 Got to be dodgy,London,atlantic or atco were not E.M.I. related. EMIDISC has nothing to do with E.M.I. though - it's just a type of acetate. Like in the US they're usually AUDIODISCS or whatever. They might press up titles to try and get publishing deals or just played on the radio. There's plenty of odd artists end up on EMIDISC - it's just impossible to tell if they were pressed up legit or for punters to buy at Wigan... Having said that, £299 is perhaps a bit ambitious for this...

Having said that, £299 is perhaps a bit ambitious for this... Not a hard and fast rule this but EMIDISC supplied acetates both already labled and with labels seperate on a roll. The ones with blank labels already applied were generally supplied to small buyers and as these already had labels they had to be written on. The labels on a roll could be typed on and were generally in use by users who bought in greater quantity such as legitimate record labels. Having said that it is only an indication as examples of both types come from both legitimate sources and less so. In the states it is common to have an Audiodisc label covered up by a label from the studio which could be typed on. As said it is impossible to be sure either way you just have to get as much provenance as possible. Even if this was a rock solid original acetate it's way over the odds price wise IMHO
