A machine actually cuts the grooves into the acetate like a lathe.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe acetate is used to assess whether the music has been successfully transferred to disc. It is checked by the sound engineer. There may be only one copy made of a particular recording, sometimes more are cut and sent to the studio and band members for approval.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe acetate comes before making the master, and allows the sound to be checked without great expense. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is unusual for more than a dozen to be manufactured, so from the collector's point of view an acetate is a rare find indeed! If the recording is rejected the acetate may be the only record that survives. The rejected cut may simply be poor quality, however the artist may have opted to use a different take of the song, if so, the acetate becomes much more precious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKraftwerk Acetates:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeveral titles are mis-labelled [Metal On Metal actually plays the middle section of Homecomputer], while every other disc feature different timings to those that were eventually released on the 'Mix' album [the first section of Trans Europe Express is longer than the album version, the version of It's More Fun To Compute\/Homecomputer plays for 2:47 and is quite possibly a unique edit]. The labels are pretty cool too and feature hand-written annotations\/pressing instructions stating \"too long\", \"fade it out\", \"ok\" etc with chromographic pen markings in the run-out grooves adding another cool touch. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc One\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMetal On Metal [acutally plays Homecomputer middle section]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc Two\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrans Europe Express [Album Version is 5:00, this is a 3:20 Edit]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc Three\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDentaku [Album Version is 3:27, this is 4:00]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc Four\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Robots [Album Version is 8:56, this is a 5:14 Edit]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc Five\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eComputerlove [Album Version is 6:35, this is a 5:07 Edit]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc Six\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHomecomputer [Album Version is 8:02, this is a 2:27 Edit]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc Seven\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbzug [Actually plays It's More To Compute\/Homecomputer 2:47 Edit]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc Eight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRadioactivity [Album Version is 6:53, this is a 5:05 Edit]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc Nine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePocketcalculator [Album Version is 4:32, this is a 3:51 Edit]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDisc Ten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAutobahn [Album Version is 9:27, this is a 4:58 Edit]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/kraftwerk\" title=\"Click to see complete listing of Kraftwerk\"\u003eKraftwerk\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for complete listing)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/search-results-page?q=Kraftwerk+Acetates\" title=\"Click to see more products with the title Acetates\"\u003e Acetates\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more of the same title)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e - acetate\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Label\u003c\/strong\u003e - Elektra\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue No\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/search-results-page?q=ACETATES\" title=\"Click to see more products with the catalogue number ACETATES\"\u003eACETATES\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more)\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/us-imports\" title=\"Click to see more items from United States (USA)\"\u003eUnited States (USA)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional info\u003c\/strong\u003e - Deleted\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlobal Trade Item Number (GTIN)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 5053201204970\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description).
