KATE BUSH Acetate: Mega Rare Circa 1979 US double sided metal based ultra high-grade methyl cellulose lacquer 12″ acetate, featuring six tracks in total.

There are no labels or any annotations to identify the dates of the recordings, although they appear to be from Live At Hammersmith/ On Stage. This unique one-off disc is housed in a die-cut Transco sleeve, US manufacturers of master recording blanks. The acetate shows only some light surface wear as expected & plays through superbly & without fault. A one of its kind item, more info hereTHE SMITHS Hatful Of Hollow: A very rare 1984 UK 21″ x 14″ unfolded promotional-only poster for the album release which includes the text ‘latest album’ under Hatful Of Hollow, almost all others state ‘new release’. Includes the iconic ‘cover star’ photograph of the otherwise unknown Fabrice Colette taken by Gilles Decroix, plus band logo and album information. This uber-rare Smiths collectable has never been displayed and shows just some very light creasing to one edge – hard to believe it’s over 30 years old! Do we need to tell you how good this would look framed?
