Very\r\n  few of these are ever produced, mostly for in-studio sonic reference,\r\n  so seldom leave the studio or are destroyed once the final master is\r\n  approved, so to find one in near 'as new' condition like this one is a\r\n  real treat. Michael Jackson recorded most of 'Off The Wall' at Zentz\r\n  Studiosand this tune has a similar poppy\/souly feel, even though it's\r\n  certainly not Michael Jackson!)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-stretch: 100%; color: #999; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eTRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\nAn acetate is normally a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record but were occasionally used for a songwriter to convey a song idea to a band or person.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally acetates were used for home recording in the days before tape recorders, but since the advent of cassette tape \u0026amp; CDR are now no longer used for providing bands \u0026amp; their entourage copies of today's studio efforts. A machine actually cuts the grooves into the acetate like a lathe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe acetate is used to assess whether the music has been successfully transferred to disc. It is checked by the sound engineer. There may be only one copy made of a particular recording, sometimes more are cut and sent to the studio and band members for approval.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe acetate comes before making the master, and allows the sound to be checked without great expense. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is unusual for more than a dozen to be manufactured, so from the collector's point of view an acetate is a rare find indeed! If the recording is rejected the acetate may be the only record that survives. The rejected cut may simply be poor quality, however the artist may have opted to use a different take of the song, if so, the acetate becomes much more precious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn incredible find \u0026amp; certainly one of only a handful that would have been produced.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/chula-vista\" title=\"Click to see complete listing of Chula Vista\"\u003eChula Vista\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for complete listing)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/search-results-page?q=Chula+Vista+Sugar+Dumpling\" title=\"Click to see more products with the title Sugar Dumpling\"\u003e Sugar Dumpling\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more of the same title)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e - acetate\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Label\u003c\/strong\u003e - Allen Zentz Mastering\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue No\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/search-results-page?q=ACETATE\" title=\"Click to see more products with the catalogue number ACETATE\"\u003eACETATE\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/us-imports\" title=\"Click to see more items from United States (USA)\"\u003eUnited States (USA)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional info\u003c\/strong\u003e - Deleted\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlobal Trade Item Number (GTIN)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 5053199286637\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description).
