Description
From Out Of Space, A Warning and an Ultimatum! This is the rarest record we have ever found. You now have the chance to own a rare (One-Of-A-Kind) and original 7 inch 45 rpm Acetate record from the classic 1951 Science Fiction movie "The Day The Earth Stood Still". This is truly an esoteric collectible with historical significance, and it deserves to be in a museum, or maybe framed on a movie producers wall! In 1993, 20th Century Fox released the soundtrack (view the Music and Soundtrack heading in the wiki article), but it was actually recorded in 1951, and was Bernard Hermann's first soundtrack production when he moved to Hollywood. What we have up for bid here is believed to be THE original acetate recording, from 1951. The record was acquired in curious group of 45s that were purchased in early 2010. The former owner of this record obviously never took the time to identify it, but he did protect it very well - it's in excellent shape. This 7 inch acetate is a white label with no identifying markings whatsoever. There are no run-out groove markings anywhere on this record. Through extensive research, we have positively identified both tracks on this 45. SIDE ONE: "Prelude/Outer Space" - Track Length: 3:45, and SIDE TWO:"Radar" - Track Length: 3:00. There is one single pop within the first 5 seconds of side one. Other then that one audible click, there are no audio defects on the disc and both sides play perfectly. As with most older vinyl records, you can hear some natural tape hiss throughout the quiet parts of the music, however it is almost completely unnoticeable and doesn't detract from the recording in any way.
