SURF-CHALLENGERS- STEREO MASTERS 33 1/3 ACETATE- FOUR TRACKS - UNRELEASED- HEAR

$

53

The Challengers on a 12 inch one sided 33 1/3 RPM acetate from the Stereo Masters Co. doing four tracks, with unreleased material. The acetate is in VG++ condition, plays great, with full gloss, and a clean playing surface. The songs include I'm A Hog For You, Wiggle Wobble (overdub piano), Yep (overdub) and Jack the Ripper (with front sound effect). Please listen to the streaming audio of all four songs from this actual acetate by using the eCommerce auction player. 

The reverse side of this acetate contains six more songs, which Delvy or someone else scratched a line through. Tbe six songs still play, with occasional skips, as a result of someone's scrawl. This does not sound like the Challengers (according to Randy Nauert). Richard Delvy or the session sound man used the flip side of someone else's acetate when they cut the four Challenger tracks. (Please remember that acetates were expensive in those days, and sometimes they used a free side of another disc to cut the songs.) I included one of the six songs from the unknown band on the reverse side of this acetate. It is a really great funky blues instrumental with sax, guitar, and drums, and bass. Check out this last track on the eCommerce player. I wonder who performs on these six unknown tracks on the back of this Challenger acetate?

There is a complete audio stream of at least one side of each record on the listing page. Occasionally the audio stream "times out" overseas, limiting the sound, to a brief "clip". If this happens, please email or message me, and I will try to make a correction.

Here is an explanation of the grading system.

M(10) PERFECT! Label, vinyl, sound, all perfect…

M-(9) Maybe a few smudges, some very fine sleeve marks, etc. All glossy vinyl. Label pretty. Sounds great!! (sleeve marks are those tiny scratches with no effect on sound)

Ex+(8) or Vg++(8) A few sleeve marks or a few fine scratches, label still nice. Good gloss. appears-- still sounds great!! UK: EX+

Vg+(7) Probably lots of sleeve marks, OR several fine scratches, OR one or two more serious scratches, OR scuffs. Some gloss. Label is still real nice! Possibly a bit of dirt on it, etc. Overall, a fine copy. No noticeable record noise. UK:EX

Vg(6) It has sleeve marks AND: numerous very fine scratches, or a few more serious scuffs. Still nice looking overall. May be noise in quiet passages, but still sounds good! Still some gloss. Label is beginning to show signs of wear, but not serious. UK: Ex-, Or VG++.

Vg-(5) LOTS of fine scratches and almost no gloss. OR a few serious scratches, OR scuffed. Label is possibly worn. Plays with noise which doesn’t overwhelm the music. Gloss is possible, if the scratches are bad enough.UK: VG+

G+(4) COMPLETELY covered with fine scratches, OR a mix of fine and serious scratches or other defects. Label may be pretty trashed, but is generally readable. Plays with hiss, crackle or distortion, but not awful. UK:VG

G-(3) A filler. LOTS of serious scratches, definitely some audible. Noise is more prominent than the music. Label is BARELY readable. BUT: it plays ok… UK: VG- Between G and F

F(2) Almost unacceptable. Plays through. Label seriously worn. UK: G

P(1) POOR Gots lotsa scratches, scratches, scratches etc. I will NEVER list one like this.
