Comments: Super rare set of four acetates from the soundtrack of the film The Sound Of Music! Three of the discs are one-sided and one of them is double sided. Each disc has a 20th Century Fox Film Corp. label with typed text. All discs list the playing speed at 33 1/3 rpm's and one of them states that a 78 rpm stylus should be used. I don't know if that's the case with all of them. I haven't listened to these so I don't know if these are alternate takes or the actual versions used on the album. Three of the discs are in "Audiodiscs" sleeves. These three sleeves bear the signature of Duane Chase (I was able to find another example of his signature online and these look legit) who played Kurt Von Trapp in the film. Only the name appears - they are not signed to anyone so I'm thinking that these may have actually been the copies that he owned. The fourth sleeve is from "Soundcraft" and does not bear any signature. The first disc's label states: Lonely Goatherd PB 27 DS 151 Andrews-Children-Orch. Time: 2:58. The second: Sound Of Music PB 28 DS 155 Plummer-Children-Orch. Time: 2:10 Clix. The third: So Long, Farewell PB 1 DS 146 Children & Orch. Time: 2:56. The fourth disc is double sided. Side 1: My Favorite Things Reprise P.B. 12 DS 87 Time: 1:00 Andrews-Children-Piano Use 78 Stylus. Other side: My Favorite Things Reprise P.B. 12A DS 92 Time: 1:10 Andrews-Children-Piano Use 78 Stylus. See photos for shots of the labels. International bidders please keep in mind that these discs are heavier than normal vinyl LP's and this will impact shipping costs. If you have any additional questions please ask.

How we visually grade our records:

Mint (M): Album is still sealed in original shrinkwrap and has never been opened.

Near Mint (NM): Album has been opened and most likely played but is blemish free and as close to new as possible.

Excellent Plus (EX+) Album is very close to NM but may show more signs that it has been played.

Excellent (EX): Album does show the most minor signs of usage, nothing that would effect sound quality.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Album will show some signs of wear and may have some minor scratches or scuffs. These albums we will usually play to gauge the sound quality. If there are any issues we will post them.

Very Good (VG): Album has obvious signs of usage. There are most likely blemishes that will affect sound quality.

How we grade our covers :

Mint (M): Cover is still sealed in original shrinkwrap and has never been opened.

Near Mint (NM): Cover is in new condition and may still be in it’s shrinkwrap but has been opened.

Excellent (EX): Cover is in great shape but will show the most minor signs of usage. Small amounts of wear on the corners or seams are possible, but no writing or other blemishes.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Cover will shows signs that it was used. No seam splits or heavy wear, but corners and seams will show wear. There may be the possibility of a previous owners name written on the cover, stickers or bent corners, etc. Cover graphics may have flecking or show a ring from the record.

Very Good (VG): Cover will show heavy wear on seams and corners. Seam splits are possible. Cover graphics will be worn. Covers with heavy writing on them will earn this ranking.

Good (G): Cover is in poor shape. Generally we will not list albums with covers in this shape unless the album itself is in excellent shape and the cover is the only concern or if the album is extremely rare or valuable and there may still be interest in spite of condition.

Album and cover grading is not an exact science and is subject to the opinion of the grader. We strive to be as precise as possible. If you have any questions about our grading system or a particular item please don’t hesitate to contact us.
