Item Description

DAVID BOWIE, 7 metal, 2 sided-2 song ACETATE on Philips UK 45 rpm, 1969 mono.
Songs are Space Oddity time: 4:33 on acetate and 5:15 on released UK lp.
and Letter To Hermione time: on acetate 2:48 and 2:36 on released UK lp.
The acetate version of Letter To Hermione is complete different with strings and flutes and a background chorus with Bowie s vocals being more melodic.
A truly UNISSUED version.
Space Oddity was Bowie s second UK studio album released in July of 1969.
Condition of acetate is VG to M-, still shinny and sounds amazingly clear...no pops or distortion.
A truly rare and amazing find.
This is an original pressing and NOT a copy or duplication..
NOTE Much to my surprise and delight, my secret British supplier and friend has come up with, yet, another batch of a dozen or so acetates and assures me that these are the very last in his warehouse..
Postage in US is 6.00 and Europe is 25.00 includes registered mail ...Good Luck On Sep-12-13 at 08:45:37 PDT, seller added the following information: I have spoken with someone who knows David Bowie s music very well and played the record for them over the phone and learned that this acetate sounds close to the original released version but has some differences that would qualify as unissued.
I do not wish to misrepresent this record as being completely different from the released version as I stated so I will retract that statement as wrong.
However this acetate is rare and still unissued.
I only wish that I knew how to place a sample recording on the listing.
Hope this helps...Good Luck and call me if you have any questions: 512 nine 0 nine-4386 Dennis
