Description

Hi guys and welcome to another one of Courtney's auctions of weird and wonderful. 


Here we have a 12" 78rpm acetate from the 60's of Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds. 


It plays but is obviously a test recording of some sort due to a speed inconsistency. I acquired this in a job lot of Columbia/EMI/HMV and Parlophone acetates in an estate sale some years ago. It is recorded on what the label says is an EmiDisc. 


I do not have any other history of this other than what is shown. 


The B side looks to have been badly damaged to stop it being played. I certainly wouldn't try it myself. 


This has to be unique in the Beatles world due to the only countries releasing Beatles 78's were India, The Phillipines and Argentina. 


Your guess is as good as mine. 


Have fun


Courtney.
