Description

Rare Dusty Springfield Emidisc Acetate 7" Morning Please Don't Come. Condition is "Used". This is unique opportunity to obtain an extremely rare Dusty Springfield one sided demo acetate single. Emidisc was a brand of lacquer disc which was sent out in extremely limited editions to UK radio and television programme DJs and presenters to listen to at home. . This particular copy was obtained from a member of the BBC Top Of The Pops TV production team. It features Dusty and her brother Tom who wrote the song.  

Acetate discs were made for special purposes, almost never for sale to the general public. They could be played on any normal record player but suffered from wear more quickly than vinyl, since the lacquer didn’t have the same properties as that of vinyl.

They were once a favoured medium for comparing different takes or mixes of a recording. If pressed vinyl copies of an impending new release were not yet available, acetates were used for getting preview copies into the hands of important radio disc jockeys.

Acetates were produced in very small quantities using elementary cutting machines. The majority of discs found on the market were not labelled or marked, as distributing studios would only at most have their name and address written on the disc. It was generally up to the recipients to scribble the song title or name of the artist onto the disc by hand.

Feel free to ask any queries.
