Badfinger Apple Records UNRELEASED Compilation Acetate Phil Spector Straight Up

This item was sold earlier this year but then temporarily mislaid. It was just recovered recently.

This twelve inch multi track acetate does not have labels on either side. One side of the acetate has 7 tracks, the other side has 4 tracks. For the sake of nomenclature, I am calling the 7 track side "One Side" and the 4 track side "The Other Side" Most of the versions of Badfinger songs on this 1971 acetate were completely unreleased in any form until 2010 with the version of "Perfection" with the false start being unreleased.

ONE SIDE

1) Suitcase (This version of this song was not released until a group of Badfinger LPs was released with bonus tracks in 2010)

2) I'll Be The One - Two Skips (This version of this song was not released until "Timeless - The Musical Legacy" was released with bonus tracks in 2010)

3) No Good At All

4) Sweet Tuesday Morning - Three Skips

5) Baby Please

6) Mean Mean Jemima (This version of this song was not released until a group of Badfinger LPs was released with bonus tracks in 2010)

7) Loving You (This version of this song was not released until a group of Badfinger LPs was released with bonus tracks in 2010)

THE OTHER SIDE

1) The Name of the Game - Several Skips In the Beginning - (This version of this song was not released until a group of Badfinger LPs was released with remastered and bonus tracks in 2010)

2) Money - 1 Skip and surface noise in the first 45 seconds or so (This version of this song was not released until a group of Badfinger LPs was released with remastered and bonus tracks in 2010)

2B) Flying (This song is in the same track band as the song "Money") (This version of this song was not released until a group of Badfinger LPs was released with remastered and bonus tracks in 2010)

3) Sing For the Song

4) Perfection - THIS IS THE TRACK THAT BEGINS WITH WHAT SOUNDS LIKE A FALSE START OF THE TAPE MACHINE. THIS ASPECT OF THIS SONG IS UNRELEASED. (This version of this song was not released until a group of Badfinger LPs was released with remastered and bonus tracks in 2010)

12" Acetate 

Acetate Once Belonged to Record Producer Phil Spector 

Condition FAIR

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is one selection out of a highly important collection of acetates, test pressings, standard production records and entertainment awards from a media collection that ranges from the 1950s through the 1990s and was owned by a highly talented and diverse individual who served in a variety of jobs in the music and movie divisions of the entertainment industry most notably  Director in the Promotions Department in the Beatles record company, Apple Records. 

This individual also worked in the executive office of Phil Spector Productions in the early to mid 1970s. Most of the acetates and test pressings in this collection had standard record studio acetate and pressing plant test pressing labels but there are some from earlier in the audio review stage of record production that have no labels at all. Unlabled reference acetates have to be listened to on a record player in order to determine what they are. 

This particular acetate was one of Phil Spector’s personal  acetates. I would say that this acetate was used for making decisions about the final mixes of the songs on the album or 45.

As I said, The former Apple Records employee who owned this acetate also worked with Phil Spector on a regular basis. I was told by this employee that Phil Spector would frequently discard record production materials such as acetates and test pressings, recording equipment and regular production records once he no longer needed those items.  

This acetate came from the same collection of records and acetates as the A&M Studio Label Alternate Acetates that I sold earlier on Ebay that were used in producing the “The Concert for Bangladesh” three record box on Apple Records featuring George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Billy Preston, Ringo Starr and Leon Russell.

I wrote in the 1990s an article called "What is an acetate and why do they cost so much money? The article was published in the 1990 book "Goldmine's Rock N' Roll 45 rpm Record Price"
