The Wanderers were a short-lived English punk-alternative rock band  formed in 1980 that featured former Sham 69 members Dave  Parsons, Dave Tregunna, and Ricky Goldstein as well as Stiv Bators  [The Dead Boys, Lords Of The New Church]. They recorded one  album before splitting up in 1981. This has a custom Polygram label  attached with hand written artist name, title, playing speed, catalogue  number and track length, housed in a gplain card sleeve. This was  acquired directly from Sham 69 \u0026amp; The Wanderers lead guitarist and  songwriter Dave 'The Vicar' Parsons, and remains in a fantastic  condition, very clean with very little signs of play)\u003cbr\u003e See 'More  Info' for further details ...     - superb item!)\u003cbr\u003e See 'More Info' for  further details ...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-stretch: 100%; color: #999; font-weight: 700;\"\u003eTRACKLISTING AND EXTRA INFORMATION\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn acetate is a transitional stage between the master tape and the finished vinyl record.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally acetates were used for home recording in the days before tape recorders, but since the advent of cassette tape \u0026amp; CDR are now no longer used for providing bands \u0026amp; their entourage copies of today's studio efforts. 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\u003eAn incredible find - possibly unique - and certainly one of only a handful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis copy is also in amazing pristine condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/the-wanderers\" title=\"Click to see complete listing of The Wanderers\"\u003eThe Wanderers\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for complete listing)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/search-results-page?q=The+Wanderers+Ready+To+Snap\" title=\"Click to see more products with the title Ready To Snap\"\u003e Ready To Snap\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more of the same title)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Release\u003c\/strong\u003e - 1981\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e - acetate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Label\u003c\/strong\u003e - Polygram\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue No\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/search-results-page?q=10%22+ACETATE\" title='Click to see more products with the catalogue number 10\" ACETATE'\u003e10\" ACETATE\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/uk-imports\" title=\"Click to see more items from United Kingdom (UK)\"\u003eUnited Kingdom (UK)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlobal Trade Item Number (GTIN)\u003c\/strong\u003e - 5053201553481\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e - This item is in Excellent condition or better (unless it says otherwise in the above description).
