CPL1-1349A           Acetate from A Legendary Performer Vol. 2

This very rare double-sided 12” acetate is dated 11/21/75 on Side 1 and 11/20/75 on Side 2. Joan Deary, the producer of this album, approved Side 1 by her signature on 11/24/75. There are at least two other editions of this acetate known to exist. The first acetate is dated 11/7/75 and the third 11/26/75. This means, that this acetate is not the final edition (at least Side 2). I couldn’t find out what Joan Deary misliked while listening to the acetate, but maybe it was some sound problems on Side 2. The contents are identical with the final album.
Value: 400 - 500 US$
