King Acetates

[Tubbs]

Just got a Mary Moultrie King acetate today. Just wondered if anyone else has an acetate of anything on King as I'm not quite sure if it's real or not. it has plain white labels both sides with a small piece of paper glued on with the title and artist on one side only. Any ideas ?

Thanx Tubbs

Is that Tubbs from Aberdeen?

Sounds nothing like the King acetate a friend of mine's got.

His is more officious looking, with properly printed test pressing type labels with typwriter typed text explaining title and artist, etc.

Hope this helps, although I'm certain there are all kinds of different styles to King acetates. My description is just one of them I'll bet.

yeah it's Tubbs fae Aberdeen. How you doing ? Are you back from Norway yet ?

yeah though King would've been able to come up with something better than plain white labels for an acetate

Nah, I've been awah heem since January but I'm looking to get back over there ASAP. As we speak in fact.

Saw Steve at Lowton last month. I had to admit to remembering his face but not his name and from whence he came. Embarrased, so I was. But, he was very gracious about it, as always.

I asked Steve to pass on my regards to you and everybody else in aberdeen that I know.

PM me your email address again.

Oh, God forbid, you never know, you might see me up in Aberdeen again, if my attempt to return to Norway falls flat on it's face.

Has Jim still got his shop / club open / running?

I'll see if I can get my mate to send a scan of his acetate for you.

I may well have seen more King acetates, via work, than any other living being. Although they did have a specially-designed acetate label, with a 'proper' logo, in the 60s, I've seen plenty that don't use this label, too, and do just have a plain white label or the label of the studio that the actetate was cut at.

If you can put it up here I might be able to compare it to others that I've seen and give you the answer you're looking for...
