Rare, original "Reference Acetate" / "Dub Plate",
or more accurately, a UNIQUE, probably "one-off"
"Radio Transcription" recording of an on-air radio show
from February 5th, 1947. This disc has Part One b/w
Part Three, and you can hear samples of
each side at the bottom of the "Description" below.
This show includes singing by the host Buffalo Bob Smith who soon after became host of the children's show Howdy Doody, weather forecasts for NYC boroughs,
specifically Brooklyn and Queens and The Kingsmen
sing on the Part Three side ... and that's probably
a record being played in-studio. The labels have
a line across the middle that has less age-staining
than the rest of the label. The "stock" label information
is printed, and the specifics of this item are
TYPED on each label.
We play-graded each side from beginning to end,
and there are no skips, but there's surface hiss
which you can judge for yourself by listening
to our sound clips.
This is an AMAZING window into an era and a slice of
forgotten time in a radio broadcast that's probably
impossible to find, and probably was never released,
except on the night the show was aired.
This item will be securely packed with
protective filler pads in a tightly taped LP mailer box.
You can hear samples taken from this acetate by clicking the player below. We used an LP stylus,
so the sound will be better using a 78 rpm stylus.
We also buy old records, or record collections,
especially by non-commercial,
non-"hitmaking" artists.
We happily combine shipping for different items!
