ELO ELECTRIC LIGHT ORCHESTRA Acetate First Album Master File Copy Test Pressing

$

311

You are bidding on a rare, possibly one-of-a-kind acetate of Electric Light Orchestra's eponymous first album. This is a United Artists Reference Record "Master File Copy" dated 11-16-71. The record is aluminum with lacquer coating. There is no information in the runout area. It is unknown if this acetate contains any variations on the well-known album, as I have not played it (for obvious reasons).

There are a few fingerprints and a little dust on the record. However, the record has not been cleaned in any way, as I do not wish to damage its delicate surface. There are two small areas on the edge where the aluminum base can be seen. See pictures to best assess what is on offer here.

Due to the rarity and value of this record, only Insured Priority Shipping is offered.
