Little Jimmy Ray "acetate"

Posted

Interesting sale:

https://cgi.ebay.com/...0582734905&rd=1

I'd be pretty hesitant (no returns accepted)...I don't know much about acetates, but it looks an awful lot like someone just wrote on a white label test press vinyl.

Aside from the brand new white sticker, the way I understand it, the record label was Galliant, https://www.globaldogproductions.info/ , and those original Little Jimmy Ray 45 labels were misprinted to say "gallant" (and later fixed to say galliant). So really, his "acetate" should say Galliant.

if you look through his other listings you'll find a sam fletcher acetate, that he's trying to pass of as the genuine article, the audiodisc label on it didnt come into use until 1972 when capitol magnetics bought out audiodiscs, sam fletcher was rel;eased around 1964, think that says it all about this seller....avoid

The seller has been much discussed on here, especially for the "Moses" disc. His listings are full of dodgy discs/acetates.

The Little Jimmy Ray doesn't even look 30 days old never mind 30 years. You would think after 30 years storage in a dusty radio station the label and writing would age somewhat rolleyes.gif

As for Sam Fletcher I agree with what Trev says, but the argument over the label was recently used on another topic but wouldn't taken in to consideration with some still saying it was real despite someone pointing out the label was from the 40's and 50's for use with 78's and 33's and not 1968? ph34r.gif

its quite feasable that a 60's track could have been put on to an old blank that was lying around in the studio, but as we now know after your very informative "audiodiscs" link on the timi yuro thread, they must have had a time machine to make that sam fletcher disc, as for jimmy ray....well i have to disagree with your 30 day estimate, more like 30 minutes, i dont think the ink on the labels dry yet

I submitted an EvilBay report, not the clearest of procedures, hoping they may simply delete the listing. If enough people do so it may raise some attention on the seller............. :thumbsup:

I agree it is feasible but after 10 to 20 years, highly unlikely. I know old blanks are used today but thats a different story, they are attempting to dupe someone.

Anyway back on topic, looks like one seller who should be avoided. And $100,000 for a shop full of boots, he's having a laugh laugh.gif He's either not selling anything or he is making another copy of a disc when one is sold.
