Recently Acquired Acetates

[Roburt]

This ain't really about soul cuts, but I thought someone here who is Birmingham based might be able to help a bit.

I recently bought a few 10" & 12" acetates that contain 1950's R&B tracks (in all I'd say that the acetates contain around 40 tracks).

No info at all on the tracks & the acetates are in great condition. However the cuts on them are all over the place in recording quality / volume settings (some sound to have been lifted off old 78's).

I know very little about the source of these discs apart from the fact that they were mastered by Midas Music Complex of

Birmingham (ADDRESS: New Enterprise Workshop, Nechells, Birmingham B18 7RL).

Anyone know anything at all about this outfit & what type of music they usually get involved with ??

I don't know but the person I know who knows the most about Birmingham is John Ciba, owner of Rabbit Factory records, that did the Birmingham soul comps and who puts on shows with Ralph Jackson, etc. Do you know him? I can give you his email if you don't.

Boba, we are at cross purposes here I think.

I'm talking about Birmingham, ENGLAND not Birmingham, Alabama.
