LOST! * Test Pressings of 2 Rock-afire Explosion 45 RPM's

Ойын-сауық

eBay Link: www.ebay.com/itm/155894426284...
These are two test pressings of the Rock-afire Explosion 45 RPM records, "Born To Run" and "The Colander Head Song", AKA "Strain Your Brain".
They were "lost" in my garage for over 40 years. They are the size of a normal LP, because these metallic test pressing blanks are used for both 7" 45 RPM's and 12" LP's by the pressing company, QCA. They both have a black paint like material flaking off of the metallic surface except on the area where the music actually is. It appears the black "stuff" that has separated and flaked off was purely cosmetic to make the metal look like a normal "record". I left the flakes in the packge. I believe these will still play on a record player or turntable, but the audio may not be perfect due to possible pits that have formed over the years in the audio portion. This is a great, one of a kind collector's item. I am selling these two pressings on eBay at this link: www.ebay.com/itm/155894426284...

    Greetings! Nice video and intresting find, i am the owner of my channel called scott's music roundhouse. I did wanted say these are not test pressings! Those are what people call an acetate! An acetate is a 12" black coated fine made record only made for approval of the record company too see if it is worth and the mastering was good. Before making an final master record that would later become first a test pressing made from real vinyl and see if it plays well and sound wise approved before begin made officaly as an 7" record for retail. Now as i checked my database these songs did not apear on retail. So its highly thinkable both records were made for side A & Side B as they were cut on 7" lenght . Pretty cool too see these acetates Sadly those acetates are very rotten. I rarely seen acetates rotting that badlythats very sad. I be happy too save them by making a high end audiophile recodding of it with my quipment too 24kbps 960000hz flac too peserve these collectables as digitial source too peserve its history for archive purpuces. Mainky acetates are ment too be played once. Since they are made from very different kind of material. And as a collector myself. I know how fine acetates grooves are. If tgey are only played over 10 times even with an super light weight needle. They would almost be unplayable. I hope you find this comment helpfull about what these are! Maybe you could upload them too the database website "discogs" for other peoples too see and document them! Cheers from scott's vinyl!

    Wow! That's right!! That's coming back to me now! This was my only experience with acetates. It's great to have such a great variety of experts and craftsmen subscribing or watching videos to help me figure things out. May I offer you a free subscription to my Premium Channel in return for your help? Also, do you think there is any reason not to sell these on eBay? They are just a Rock-afire collectable, aren't they? I do have the high quality audio tracks these acetates were made from ( I think). I didn't know that they had deteriorated any more than any other acetate might have over 40 years since these are the only ones I have found yet. I may have another one somewhere though, so the story is not over. But, these, being stored in my garage went through many Summers at nearly 100 degrees and were in freezing temps in some Winters. And, Yes! Now that you mentioned it, I think you are right thar these two acetates are Side A and Side B of that 45 RPM record we made! My hat's off to you my friend!!

    @@therockafire Greetings from my music channel i tought i will reply too this one i got acess too haha! yea man no problem! i thought it was worth a share from my knowlege about records i learned myself in the short years i been doing it ! i do really loved too help out peserving these pieces of canceled Releases too the public with my equipment but i am afraid it would cost a bit. myself am from the netherlands sadly! or els i would have been very happy too help out and clean up those discs the best i can and make a direct good recording of it that could have been archived! sometimes 7'' singles contain diffrent edited mixes found on LP's or master tapes. or so to say Edited / Special version. so it would been very intresting what kind of edit or master they used on those acetates. but i think personallty if they would be still be playable. that black coating was helping too keep the audio in good nic without giving the needle that diamond scraping on aliminium. since an acetate is basicly an aluminum disc coated with nitrocellulose lacquer. you can almost say its same material used for the mother stampers. yknow? the shine platter that presses down on the fine PVC melted plastic that creates the Vinyl disk! and sure i will get in touch! you will see an email soon! thanks for reaching out! Greetings: Scott (Scott's vinyl) :)
