A machine actually cuts the grooves into the acetate like a lathe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe acetate is used to assess whether the music has been successfully transferred to disc. It is checked by the sound engineer. There may be only one copy made of a particular recording, sometimes more are cut and sent to the studio and band members for approval.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe acetate comes before making the master, and allows the sound to be checked without great expense. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is unusual for more than a dozen to be manufactured, so from the collector's point of view an acetate is a rare find indeed! If the recording is rejected the acetate may be the only record that survives. The rejected cut may simply be poor quality, however the artist may have opted to use a different take of the song, if so, the acetate becomes much more precious.\u003cbr\u003eAn incredible find - possibly unique - and certainly one of only a handful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis copy shows only a few light signs of play.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA1.
