Auction 2004 -DETAILS

On offer here is an original one-sided acetate of Lady Madonna on EMI's in-house 'Emidisc' label. I have not played this for fear of deteriorating it, but from memory, it is the same as the released version, though it's possible that fans might detect a difference. The running time is given on the label as '2.17' and 'RM 8' is also written on, which almost certainly refers to the room/studio it was cut or recorded in.

CONDITION

Glossy and clean with a few minor surface marks - nothing major. Quite frankly, it's miraculous that it has survived in this state. The label shows minor signs of age, but no tears or damage. I have barely ever seen a 1960s acetate in such impressive condition.

COMMENTS

'Whilst working as a promo man at Decca, I was pals with my opposite number at Apple, and we would occasionally swap the latest releases with each other. He gave this to me just after they'd recorded it - and later invited me to the final performance on the roof of the Apple Building in Savile Row. I also remember visiting him in his office, where he had a chair you'd sit back in, with in-built speakers by your ears. The height of cool at the time!'

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS A GUARANTEED ORIGINAL AND NOT A COUNTERFEIT.
