Gene-R Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Can't say this is typical of a US 45 acetate - what do you think? https://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...4005785848&rd=1 Gene Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

John May Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 How would it be possible to tell weather its authentic or not ?. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 How would it be possible to tell weather its authentic or not ?. An old 60's acetate doesn't smell really. A New one will. You can't peel a label off an acetate as the acetate draws the glue and it is rock hard when dried. Would be brittle and would break rather than peel. Can be very hard to spot the difference in some though, especially fakes done years ago :-( Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 But then again saying that, imnot too sure what time span is on the smell/not smell, as I had an acetate of that shite song by Arthur Willis (the hurting will be over when people STOP playing it ;-)) which didn't smell and wasn't that old, flogged it to some guy in Scotland for a few pence, about what the real one is worth! (depending if the DJ actually has a real copy!) Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 My advice would be don't even go there, much safer to try and locate a Smoke authentic original. I'm not saying this is not authentic but let's see how it does. regards - Mark Bicknell. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 just got a vision of people all over country digging out acetates and sniffing them smiling at it, and resisting the urge! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Tony Smith Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I must say it looks totally unconvincing!, I've much better fakes. Even the smallest studios used a label, whether the details were then handwritten or, typed on. White label test pressings a different kettle, I've seen them written, typed and in the case of Betty LLoyd stuck on kidnap letter style! Stay away from this one!
