Here is another great piece;
(The) FACTORY
"MR. LACEY"
ADVISION RECORDINGS OF 83 NEW BOND STREET, LONDON
- ORIGINAL 1960's UNISSUED TRACK - STUDIO ACETATE
HOW MUCH MORE 'ORIGINAL' CAN IT GET THAN A PRESSED-IN-THE-ACTUAL-RECORDING-STUDIO ACETATE, PROBABLY HANDWRITTEN BY THE ENGINEER OR MORE-LIKELY ONE OF THE BAND THEMSELVES!?
THERE WILL HAVE ONLY BEEN A COUPLE OF THESE PRESSED OFF FOR PURPOSE OF TESTING THE PLAYBACK, AND IT'S POSSIBLE THAT EVEN WHEN BAND-MEMBERS GET A COPY THEY MAY HAVE DESTROYED OR LOST THEIR OWN!
I HAVE BOUGHT A 2-TRACK ACETATE (VELVET FROGS) FROM A MEMBER OF THE BAND, AND IT WAS THAT COPY USED TO RECORD TO AN 'OAK RECORDS' COMPILATION - HE SOLD HIS ONLY 2 COPIES AFTERWARDS, AND I GOT ONE OF THEM.
IN THIS CASE, I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE ARE MORE OF THIS VERSION OF THE TRACK.
I HAVE HEARD A VERSION OF THIS FAIRPORT CONVENTION SONG BY 'FACTORY', BUT TO MY EARS THIS SOUNDS A DIFFERENT MIX AT LEAST.
IT IS A WILD PSYCHEDELIC GUITAR VERSION OF THE COMPOSITION, CLASSIC FOR THIS GROUP'S STYLE AND EVEN OUTSTANDING FOR THE YEAR, WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND 1969, PERHAPS THE VERY SAME RECORDING SESSION AS 'TRY A LITTLE SUNSHINE' WHICH CBS RELEASED.
CONDITION;
THE GRADING FOR ACETATES IS NOT SIMILAR TO VINYL, SO I WILL DESCRIBE INSTEAD;
THE WAX HAS TO BE CAREFULLY CLEANED OR BETTER - NOT AT ALL. THIS DOES NOT NEED ANY EXTRA ATTENTION.
THE PLAYING IS BRIGHT AND CLEAR, OFTEN EVEN BETTER SOUNDING THAN VINYL SINGLES (AND ONLY USING A LIGHT NEEDLE)
THE SURFACE VISUALLY, IS SCUFFED & MARKED, QUITE SCRUFFY VISUALLY, YET PLAYS WONDERFULLY WELL - GREAT STRONG SOUND.
GUITAR IS TO THE FRONT, LOTS OF SHARP BRIGHT WAILING GUITARWORK VERY MUCH 'ON THE EDGE'.
A COOL AND RARE ARTIFACT FROM ONE OF THE MOST REVERED PSYCHEDELIC ARTISTS OF THE ERA
