Pete S Posted July 31, 2012 Posted July 31, 2012 (I realise this is 3 sales posts in a day but one was a general list and according to Soul Source rules, separate posts are allowed if items are unusual or very rare, so the Gene Toones issue is undeniably super rare, and these acetates are unusual AND rare so that's why three posts from me today) STUDIO ACETATES FOR AUCTION - MANY UNISSUED Pete.smith@freeuk.com 01902 326306 OK FOLKS SOME INTERESTING BITS AND PIECES HERE WHICH I AM LOOKING FOR BIDS ON. LEBARON STRINGS - I HAVE FAITH IN YOU - 8" ACETATE This has been cut onto the reverse side of a Trident Studios acetate. It is of course the instrumental version of Edwin Starr / Doni Burdick but what makes this one special is that unlike the bootleg (b side of Barbara McNair white label) and reissues (one on an old Northern Soul Story LP, one on CD), it's cut at the correct speed - all of the others are a few revs too fast. This originally came from Simon Soussan who must have somehow found the master tape and the sound quality is superb. Condition is excellent. Bids over £50. Sound clip: https://www.divshare....ad/19257256-919 **************************** THE IMPRESSIONS - IT'S ALRIGHT - EMI 7" STUDIO ACETATE Not a rare track in itself but what makes this unusual is that, as far as I can tell, this is the only appearance on 7" vinyl of a stereo take of It's Alright. I presume there was an Impressions compilation planned or released by EMI in the mid 70's and this would appear as one of the tracks. Excellent condition. Bids over £40. Sound clip: https://www.divshare....ad/19257279-000 **************************** ANDEE SILVER - BABY I NEED YOUR LOVING - DECCA 7" ACETATE Andee Silver was a Brit girl who cut some good sides for HMV and Fontana, she issued a couple of 45's and an album on Decca plus one unissued 45 - well here is another unissued one, possibly a cancelled single release, a very decent version of the Four Tops classic with a lot of dancefloor potential. Disc is in nice shape and is surely a one off. Bids over £100 Sound clip: https://www.divshare....ad/19257419-bae ***************************** STEWART SMITH - THE DRIFTER - PYE GROUP 7" ACETATE Well here is a legendary item which many people have heard of but very few have actually heard. An unreleased version of the Ray Pollard classic which, although hardly in Ray's class, is easily the best of the 'other' versions and is slightly more uptempo and punchy too. A real one off, nobody else even has a recording of this as far as I know, so if you are after an exclusive, look no further. Bids over £500 Sound clip: https://www.divshare....ad/19257314-b1c ***************************** MIKE FINNEGAN & THE SERFS - BREAD AND WATER - AUDIODISC 7" ACETATE Nothing special about this one, just that it's the original US acetate of both sides of the Rhythm & Soul label 45. Has a bit of wear, have a listen. Bids over £30 Sound clip: https://www.divshare....ad/19257323-093 ******************************* SCOTT BROTHERS ORCHESTRA - THEY ALL CAME BACK - AUDIODISC 8" ACETATE This has a cover up name of Earl Wright - Across The Town on it's sleeve but it's definitely the Scott Brothers which came out on Toddlin Town, same track both sides, excellent condition. Bids over £40 Sound clip: https://www.divshare....ad/19257328-6e7 ******************************** JIMMY & THE DIAMONDS - BE A MAN - HASTINGS MUSIC CORP 10" ACETATE A USA publishers acetate of a very nice Blue Eyed dancer on a one sided mint 10" disc, the name is a cover up in case anyone wanted to keep the identity secret. Good track. Bids over £75 Sound clip: https://www.divshare....ad/19257338-f1d ******************************** THE CAMMOTIONS - MOTOWN / SONNY - BLANK LABEL 10" ACETATE Both sides of this were played, Motown and Wigan and Sonny at Stafford, it came out on a label called La Ro Ke but this 10" acetate, found in London of all places, features two earlier cuts to the finished version. Both good uptempo dancers, condition VG++ Bids over £50 Sound clip: https://www.divshare....ad/19257356-b4a IF YOU NEED ANY MORE INFO ON ANYTHING DO DROP ME A LINE.
