Walt Disney Productions PINOCCHIO single sided Acetate 12 - When You Wish Upon A Star - 33 rpm
VERY Rare possibly one of a kind acetate test press of partial tracks from Walt Disney s Pinocchio, which may include different version/orchestration than used on the Pinocchio soundtrack/movie.
Here s a rough outline of what is on this recording:
When you Wish Upon A Star - approx 1 min 40 seconds, which goes directly into a 10 second clip of Give A Little Whistle. This ends abruptly. A moment of silence and then the intro music to the movie starts, Little Wooden Head, into When You Wish Upon A Star w/o the vocals, this sequence is 2 min 10 seconds.
Overall around 4 mins play time
The vid/audio clip starts in the middle, around 2 mins into the playback.
Note: Acetates are lacquer-coated aluminum discs that are entirely smooth when first manufactured. They are cut by placing them on a cutting lathe that has a signal fed to the cutting head from either a live audio source or a performance recorded on magnetic tape. As the music plays, the cutting head cuts a groove in the soft lacquer surface. Acetates are made for two purposes to evaluate a recording and its suitability for pressing records and to use in the production of the finished product itself. Sometimes, artists have acetates prepared of songs just to hear how they sound as a record, though they may not have any intention of releasing them commercially. These may be working versions of songs that are later changed before release or songs that aren t intended to be released at all.
