Description
Omega 7" Acetate. Give Me Another Chance. Fred Mark was a Philadelphia Soul singer that recorded some collectable 45's for Omega and Concept. I researched this title and couldn't find any reference to it. I beleive this recording was never released. The acetate grades VG+ with light backgrounf noise but no significant pops or clicks. The acetate dosen't exhibit much needle wear but it does have a whiteish haze to it. Please read the paragraph below as to what this is and the remedy. A sound clip has been provided. Please listen to the entire clip to judge sound quality before bidding.
Cleaning an acetate: After doing some research with particular help from theaudioarchive.com I found a few things out. The whiteish haze is a chemical reaction that occurs over time. It's a combination of palmitic acid and stearic acid. The good news is that it can be removed with a solution of clear ammonia and deionized water. According to that website this will significantly improve sound quality. Since I've never attempted this before it was not worth the risk. If you don't know what you're doing you can permanently damage an acetate by improper cleaning. I'm leaving it to the winning bidder to clean/ or not clean this acetate. If you decide to clean it, do your research first.
