Otis Redding Loving By The Pound Acetate

[Modularman]

Anybody seen this before or know anything about this?

Is it legit?

Looks a bit moody to me

Label doesn't look right to me, especially round the top

Agree, doesn’t look right……the description states it’s an ‘acetate’, then at the end states ‘heavy weight vinyl’……from the pictures it doesn’t look like a metal coated acetate…..probably just a carver.

The different hand writing and pen types for ‘Final Mix’ against the other writing doesn’t look right.  Looks like a photoshopped acetate label with text removed and then ‘Otis’ credits added by hand later with a felt tip pen.

i've always believed Mirasound was at 57th St , 2nd floor Henry Hudson Hotel, so i also think the adress 'on the acetate' is wonky!

Comparing the condition of the label to the condition of the vinyl should be enough to tell you it's a wrong'un.

No way that's a 60's "acetate" but a modern carver in 'fancy dress'.

Don’t think I’ve seen a mirasound acetate that colour, usually blue?  As said the felt tip writing isn’t right.
