Description

THESE ARE 2 78 RPM ACETATE DISCS FROM JIM BECK'S STUDIO IN DALLAS, TEXAS FROM, I BELIEVE, 1950. OF THE 4 SONGS, "THERE;S NO TOMORROW", "THE GIRL WITHIN THE PICTURE", "JUST LEARNED TODAY", AND "WEDDING CORSAGE", I ONLY CAN FIND A LISTING OF ONE OF THESE SONGS EXISTING (wedding corsage); THE OTHER 3 ARE NOT ON THE BEAR FAMILY BOX!!!!

RAY AUTOGRAPHED THE SLEEVES YEARS AGO AT A LIVE PERFORMANCE IN TEXAS. HE REMARKED THAT HE'D FORGOTTEN DOING THESE SONGS!

THE DISC WITH "WEDDING CORSAGE"/"JUST LEARNED" IS SHINY V+, WITH NUMEROUS LIGHT SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS. IT PLAYS WELL. IT HAS AUDIODISC LABELS. THE SECOND DISC HAS A JIM BECK LABEL ONE SIDE AND AN AUDIODISC LABEL THE OTHER. "THE GIRL WITHIN THE PICTURE" LOOKS V+ AND PLAYS WELL (SOME SHELLAC CHIPPING ON OUTSIDE EDGE NOT NEAR THE PLAYING GROOVES), BUT THE "THERE'S NO TOMORROW" SIDE HAS SOME PROBLEMS-

THERE ARE 3 PAIRS OF SCRATCHES IN THE ACETATE ON THE GROOVES THAT EXTEND ABOUT 1-1/2" INTO THE SONG. THEY CAUSE THE RECORD TO SKIP FOR THE FIRST MINUTE. THIS MAY BE RESTORABLE BY SOMEONE WITH THE TIME AND KNOWHOW.

THE ACETATES (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THERE'S NO TOMORROW) PLAY WELL WITH MINOR SURFACE NOISE, CLICKS. THESE ARE VERY RARE IF NOT UNIQUE! THEY NEED TO BE PROPERLY RESTORED AND ISSUED. THESE WILL BE SENT REGISTERED IF SOLD INTERNATIONALLY; I PACK VERY WELL!!!
