Guest Matt Male Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Isn't there another part of the process where they cut an acetate, or is the acetate the stamper? I think the metal stampers turn up on occasion, but I wonder if any of the lacquered discs survive? Hmm just googled it and it said the acetate is the lacquered disc from which the stamper is produced. Edited December 2, 2011 by Matt Male Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Chalky Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 There should be two parts to the Ron Murphy one, it should start right at the beginning with cutting of the acetate to making the master to pressing the vinyl etc. Look at the links down the side from same channel.

Sleeps45 Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Ive heard some small private labels would use recycled vinyl and the 45 would sound like crap..cant recall anything in particular but I know there was on label out of the bay area that did that Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

As far as I know, an acetate is a test cut of the finished product, before they do the vinyl test pressings, like if they needed a copy hot off the press they'd cut a couple of acetates first.

Also heard about use of old car tyres or something. Sound really bad but no probs if you drop them Hadn't seen this original thread in December, so found it interesting to have a quick read / look just now before going back to work. Also good to see how all my edge-warped and off-centre records were created! Cheers, Steve. Edited February 10, 2012 by 71 Steve 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Chicago's Trax studios used 1000's of unsold Sargent Pepper to cut house 12's in the 8ts, Rocky jones openly admits this, though he did say 'he didnt use old sneakers' as often claimed. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

James brown goes on about using reverse acetate's that were cut to prevent copying, anyone ever hear of this practice? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Anais nin Carms Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Brilliant loved watching it . I am sure that Werner used a Diamond to cut the records at thier house at Tufnell Park i remember them saying that it was a very large cost to them . I watched him carve a record for me ,whilst munching on tea and biscuits , it was facinating to watch. Thanks for sharing this Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
