Clearly the time is ripe to let this baby go!  This is a decent ORIGINAL ACETATE copy of MICHAEL JACKSON'S amazing THRILLER lp (WHITE LABEL/TYPED PRINT  -- labels state CBS RECORDS NOV. 11 1982 on both sides -- no matrix numbers on labels or dead wax).

Comes in generic white 12" jacket that is in VG+ CONDITION;  MINOR CORNER DINGS, STAINS, SCUFFS, MILD RINGWEAR FRONT/BACK OF JACKET - JACKET HAS "EPIC, MICHAEL JACKSON & NOV 11, 1982" WRITTEN IN BLACK MAGIC MARKER.

**ALL BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS NOT A NORMAL RECORD, THIS IS AN ACETATE;  AN ACETATE IS NOT MEANT FOR NORMAL PLAY ON A STANDARD TURNTABLE.  ACETATES ARE CUT ON A MACHINE & THE RECORDING SURFACE IS SOFT.  REPEATED PLAYING DECREASES SOUND QUALITY.  THEREFORE, I CAN ONLY REALLY "VISUALLY" GRADE THIS ACETATE -- SOUND QUALITY & PLAYABILITY DEPEND ON THE TURNTABLE/MACHINE YOU PLAY IT ON.  THIS ACETATE PLAYED O.K. ON MY TURNTABLE, BUT THERE WAS HISS & MY NEEDLE WAS A BIT TOO SENSITIVE TO THE SURFACE & SKIPPED AROUND A BIT.  AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, THE MIXES ON THIS ACETATE DON'T SOUND REMARKABLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT EVENTUALLY CAME OUT.  HOWEVER, I CAN'T BE 100% SURE.

  ACETATE IS IN VG CONDITION (AGAIN, VISUALLY GRADED); LOTS OF SCUFFS & MINOR RUB MARK/STREAKS.  NO DEEP SCRATCHES OR GAUGES  ON SURFACE.  SHOULD PLAY FINE ON THE RIGHT PLAYER.

I'M STARTING THE BID INCREDIBLY LOW, SO BID IT UP FOLKS!
