Artist / Title: Billy Hart / Enchance 

Release Info: Horizon Records, 1977. Pre-release Acetate. Features hand typed labels. This is from the collection of a former A&M employee.  NOTE: An acetate is basically the first step in manufacturing a record. Unlike a test pressing, where there can be sometimes as many as 50 to 100 pressed, Very few acetates are made.  Acetates are lacquer-coated aluminum discs that are entirely smooth when first manufactured, They are “cut” by placing them on a lathe that has a signal fed to the cutting head from either a live source or from a recorded magnetic tape. As the music plays, grooves are cut into the soft lacquer surface. Due to the nature of this process, an acetate should not be played multiple times as it will degrade the recorded surface. They are thicker and heavier than a normal record. 

Acetates are highly prized by collectors as they are akin to a demo and are indeed rare. Sometimes, songs will be later renamed or re-recorded, which makes them all the more unique. 

Please note: I am unfamiliar with the music so I cannot say if these versions differ in any way.
