Description excerpt below taken from the book Rare Rock A Collectors Guide by Tony Rees
Acetates: Aluminum discs of various sizes 7, 10 or 12 inch with a thin coating of shellac or vinyl. These discs are not pressed like regular vinyl issues. Instead, they are INDIVIDUALLY cut by the master cutter as a pre test pressing to give directions as to how the final cut should go. As such, EACH acetate is unique, and acetates constitute some of the rarest items in the whole field of record collecting.
Additional information on Acetates obtained from a UK seller s description on their site.
Acetate/Lacquer Is usually a reference cut that is made on ultra high-grad methyl cellulose sprayed onto thick aluminum discs. Reference acetates are primarily to make certain the record will sound somewhat like the tape. Often they are also made to allow a club or radio disc-jockey to play the music on turntables before it has been pressed as a normal record. Acetate is a misnomer but frequently used . It is actually a Lacquer.
