1. An acetate of a Kraftwerk single. Nice one, Peo, well cool 2. An acetate of an UNRELEASED Kraftwerk single. Corblimey Peo, I'm drooling over my keyboard. 3. An acetate of an unreleased debut Kraftwerk single... fekkin' A. I'm lost for words. 4. Early singles, normally pre-1964, were in mono. I have the South African Autobahn single (no wait, do I? I'm asking you, Peo, one of us has it...), that's in mono, so quite possibly, the single would have been a mono only release. So I don't believe that's why it wasn't released. 5. I thought acetates were either hi-qual virgin vinyl or wax, and that the metal discs are called, er, metal dics? Is this _one_ two-sided record, made of metal, or could it be that what you have bought is the matrix which they were going to press the records from? 6. Is there a catalogue number? It would be intriguing to check whether it is pre- or post- the Autobahn single. Could it be they were intending to use it as a b-side perhaps? Like Kristallo and Vom Himmel Hoch in the UK? 7. Can we have a scan sometime soon? 8. Are you sure this is intended to be played with a normal pick-up? I'm not sure I'd risk it... 9. It's pretty normal that they press up test pressings before releasing a record, I had one of Sisters Of Mercy's Floodland LP where the sound quality was pretty low, this mix must have been rejected prior to release. John has a tp with a different mix of Neonlights. But I'm confused about the metal here; Peo, please pull me out of the dark! :) Cor. Where do you get in touch with dealers of acetates at all? I hardly ever see any, with any artists. Can I ask how much you paid the dude? Anyway, congratulations on the finest new entry to your collection.
