Sheldonsoul Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 just lookin on e bay and found this, is it a proper acetate or what https://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MEL-BRITT-shell-come-running-back-ACETATE-HEAR-IT_W0QQitemZ220507476688QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Records?hash=item33574512d0
davidwapples Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 it has small centre hole which indicates uk and unrelated b side so i would guess that its not an original but only my view
Gasher Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 its a proper acetate allright just not a legitimate one LIKE AN EMI DISC..ITS A DUB, FAKE , RIP OFF ,BOOT ,JUNK WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT APART FROM REAL ABOUT AS ORIGINAL AS THE MONALISA I HAVE HANGING IN MY SHITTER . GASHER
Steve G Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Think it's probably one done in the 70s, and as others have said a UK job. Probably for a "DeeJay"
Guest Dave Turner Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) just lookin on e bay and found this, is it a proper acetate or what https://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item33574512d0 Just an ordinary Emidisc type thingy-me-bob with Sam Ambrose - They'll Be Coming (Crazy Horse) on the flip. Both big around the same time summat like 1976ish Edited November 9, 2009 by Dave Turner
Ernie Andrews Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Just out of curiosity! The acetate from a few months back that was original but parts of the laquer missing! If the person who bought it had the acetate re-laquered and the Mel britt regrooved into it would it be still an original say like an antique but listed as a damaged repaired.?
Pete S Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Like everyone above says - you chose 2 tracks from a list of titles, paid a fiver, a week later your disc was ready, this particular one is worthless
Dean Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 A recent find that was part of a 60's DJ collection is this acetate 45. It has no labels but after some investigation it turned out to be the MEL BRITT monster rare USA northern soul 'FIP' A-side "She'll Come Running Back". Part of a 60's DJ collection- do you think so? Same as above post says Sam Ambrose on flip would indicate a more recent copy of 2 sides. can't imagine those two sides ending up together any other way. Deceiving description I think.

It's from 75 or early 76.
Anoraks Corner Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) it has small centre hole which indicates uk This rule-of-thumb does not indicate a UK press at all. There are plenty of original US acetates that have a small hole. This example is a scene-made dub as others have already pointed out...and nothing to plan a retirement around! -ps I have an original Sammy Ambrose on Crazy Horse for sale, if anyone fancies it?!

KevH Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 its a proper acetate allright just not a legitimate one LIKE AN EMI DISC..ITS A DUB, FAKE , RIP OFF ,BOOT ,JUNK WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT APART FROM REAL ABOUT AS ORIGINAL AS THE MONALISA I HAVE HANGING IN MY SHITTER . GASHER ,it was the 2.27 instru b side that gave it away.
purist Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 just out of interest how many others amongst you wrote to this seller telling him/her what it actually was? or is it just me that does stuff like that?
Garethx Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 The real one that went through ebay about eighteen months ago was a thing of great beauty although, as Ernie says above, practically unplayable through missing a great deal of its surface lacquer. A valuable piece of soul music memorabilia I would have thought.
Sheldonsoul Posted November 9, 2009 Author Posted November 9, 2009 so the seller is basically trying to have some poor unsuspecting punter over for £200 then

Sheldonsoul Posted November 9, 2009 Author Posted November 9, 2009 this is the one that went through ebay some months ago....universal acetate nice bit of soul history, what would that be worth
Chalky Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 nice bit of soul history, what would that be worth can't remember but don't think it was a great deal that it sold for. no sign of it on popsike or collectors frenzy.
Pete S Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 just out of interest how many others amongst you wrote to this seller telling him/her what it actually was? or is it just me that does stuff like that? I did, soon as I saw it
Guest Lobster Madras Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 this is the one that went through ebay some months ago....universal acetate Truly an item of great beauty !
Steve L Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 I did, soon as I saw it Me too, fair play to him he's altered the start price.
Ernie Andrews Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 this is the one that went through ebay some months ago....universal acetate So Will anyone answer my question or do I just ask stupid questions? I repeat- If the owner of the above removed the laquer - had it replaced then had The tracks re-grooved in would it pass as an "original - Damaged repaired / restored" (Say like fine art) I'm Waiting

Trev Thomas Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 can't remember but don't think it was a great deal that it sold for. no sign of it on popsike or collectors frenzy. it went for sixty something quid
purist Posted November 9, 2009 Posted November 9, 2009 Had a nice reply from the seller of this item, thanking me for the info, the advert has now been amended to a fiver starting bid. All seems genuine to me and no rip off intended imho.

Like Pete S states DEAN in the mid seventies there was hundreds of Emi Disc's done. I purchsed a August & Denean & Jeanette Williams.Bearing in mind a August & Denean can today. fetch upto £250 . But if you obtained them kind of discs in this day and age i'm sure a few on this board would slate you. take care
