Any other information on it? Track listings?

Sounds like a pair of accetates to me.
Matt would know then I think, but he's moving house atm.

Acetate is a vinyl term only.



That looks like a reference disc made by the mastering studio. There were probably not too many of these made, maybe only a handful, as mastering studios are not usually in the business of making a bunch of advanced copies of things.

Acetate is a vinyl term only.

I've seen it being used in cd-r context too.

Google teaches me:

The CD Acetate

When mastering to CD (http://www.collectorshelp.com/popups/cd.htm), the Recordable CD (CDR) (http://www.collectorshelp.com/popups/cdr.htm) is used in a similar way to acetates (http://www.collectorshelp.com/popups/ac.htm), with the sound being checked from a CDR (http://www.collectorshelp.com/popups/cdr.htm).

In the early days of the CD (http://www.collectorshelp.com/popups/cd.htm) some dealers sold these CDRs (http://www.collectorshelp.com/popups/cdr.htm) for very high prices and referred to then as "CD Acetates". The ease with which they are forged (http://www.collectorshelp.com/popups/counterf.htm) has killed the market for rare CDRs (http://www.collectorshelp.com/popups/cdr.htm) and the term CD Acetate is no longer widely used

collectors speak of acetates still yeah, might be better to call them studio CDRs or something.

still around - just very busy and my internet is up the spout - dialing in...

anyway..

not heard of this item...those promo edits sound sweet if they are of the remixes...

but acetates like this are pretty common, but rare, i mean common by saying that record companies often master stuff like this on a small scale - sometimes for execs to listen to, sometimes for the bands and sometimes the radio stations, its never really issued as a promo type cd...like the standard cd-r promo you get...

the only PU promos i know of are the card sleeved JBO promos....

but acetate is now used for CD if rather incorrectly, as i think acetate is a term for the actual material used to make those 'vinyl' acetates...


anyhow...a full track list and description / photo would be nice...is it hand written of custom printed on the disc??

[holden]

Push Upstairs (Narcotic Haze Dub) ?? :confused: ??

Ne'er heard this one! Is this the only place to hear it (kinda like those rare italian KOS mixes)?

[joethelion]

the Narcotic Haze dub isn't too much different than the normal Roger S mix...
I don't think I have an actual 'hard copy' of the track, but I def have a 160kbps mp3

what I'm wondering about - is the Darren Price Edit

Yep, and I've never heard anybody other than (misinformed?) collectors use acetate for a CD. It's not really an industry term. Reference copy is way more common.
