VERY RARE original 1978 (maybe made in 1977?) Sterling Sound, Inc. METAL ACETATE! 1790 Broadway, New York City 10019 address on the labels. No run-out etchings of any kind on either side.
Lacquer disc has numerous faint surface sleeve scuffs/scratches on either side. No deep scratches that I can feel that would affect playback. Disc has not been cleaned for the buyer to do so at their discretion. There is a small "bubble" at the very outer edge that is nowhere near the grooves (pictured). Labels have a few light spindle marks and a few small green marks at the right side of side one label.
Housed in a generic manilla paper sleeve. Sleeve has light handling wear/wrinkling, light bends/creases at the left side corners and a couple small creases on the back side with one small rip near the top.
"Acetates are usually made by dubbing from a master recording in another medium, such as magnetic tape. In the vinyl record manufacturing process, a lacquer master disc is cut and electroforming is used to make negative metal molds from it; certain molds are converted into stampers, can be used to press thousands of vinyl copies of the master. Within the vinyl record industry, lacquers, sometimes called 'acetates' or 'refs', are also used for evaluating the quality of the tape-to-disc transfer. They were once a favored medium for comparing different takes or mixes of a recording, and if pressed vinyl copies of an impending new release were not yet available, acetates were used for getting preview copies into the hands of important radio disc jockeys." -Wikipedia
