Description: FREE SHIPPING TO U.S.A. & EUROPE, AUSTRALIA, JAPAN (EXCLUDING RUSSIA AND FORMER USSR COUNTRIES)THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST CUSTOM MADE ACETATES IN THE WORLD. NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF IT'S SINGULARITY, BUT ALSO....WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT'S CREATION.THIS IS ONLY FOR THE AVID COLLECTOR OF ULTRA RARE REORDS AND ACETATES. PLEASE DO YOUR INVESTIGATION ABOUT THE HISTORY OF WALTER GIBBONS AND HIS COMPANY "MELTING POT SOUND." (ALSO WITH RICH FLORES AS PARTNER.) THIS RECORD IS ULTRA RARE BECAUSE OF ITS TIME IN HISTORY. IN 1973-1977, WALTER WAS BECOMING ONE OF THE GREATEST DISCO DJ'S OF ALL TIME. HE WAS WORKING HIS WAY UP THE LADDER WAY BEFORE MORE 'FAMOUS' DJ'S THAT CAME LATER ON. IN EARLY 1974, WHEN THIS RECORD WAS BEING LATHED BY WALTER AND RICH FLORES, LARRY AND FRANKIE WERE STRUTTING THEIR STUFF IN DRAG AT THE CONTINENTAL BATHS (SPECIAL THANKS TO "LOVE SAVES THE DAY"...WRITTEN BY TIM LAWRENCE) WHILE WALTER WAS WORKING AT 'THE OUTSIDE INN' IN JACKSON HEIGHTS, N.Y. WALTER AND I MET IN LATE 1973 AT 'ROCK 'N' SOUL REORDS' IN DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN WHERE HE WAS THE SALESMAN AT THE COUNTER. HE HOOKED ME UP WITH ALL THE HOTTEST MUSIC AT THE TIME. IF A RECORD WASN'T AVAILABLE, HE PULLED ME TO THE SIDE, AND TOLD ME ABOUT HIS CUTTING MACHINE, AND INVITED ME TO HAVE ANY SONG 'CUT' ON A RECORD. I ALSO THOUGHT IT WOULD BE CONVENIENT TO HAVE A 7" SINGLE INSTEAD OF CARRYING AROUND AN LP FOR ONLY ONE CUT, SO I TOOK HIM UP ON THAT. THIS IS ONE OF THE RARE EXAMPLES.RICH FLORES RECENTLY TOLD ME THAT THERE WEREN'T TOO MANY CUSTOM CUT ACETATES MADE BY THEM. MOST OF THEIR RECORDS WERE PRE-MADE, NUMBERED ON A SMALL LIST OF SELECTIONS, AND SOLD TO DOWNSTAIRS REORDS. THOSE PRE-MADE RECORDS HAD TO HAVE "NOT FOR SALE" STAMPED ON THE LABEL TO AVOID CEASE-AND-DESIST THREATS AND LAWSUITS. THIS IS AN ULTRA RARE ONE OF A KIND RECORD.THERE IS NO OTHER ONE IN THE UNIVERSE.

The album is still sealed (SS) in its original packaging-- and has never been opened or played. Mint- (M-)---This is the highest grade for records that have been played. The album is in excellent condition and shows no visible signs of wear or damage that will affect sound quality. May have some light paper scuffs or fingerprints which will not lessen audio reproduction quality. EXCELLENT-- While not flawless, the condition is EXCELLENT, showing only minimal signs of use. Any visible blemishes should have minimal affect on play quality, though light surface noise maybe present at very quiet portions or between tracks. This is a record that should satisfy all but the most strict of collectors. There may be slight ring or cover wear, or minor writing on the cover, which is duly noted. VERY GOOD PLUS--Vinyl may have scratches and/or other visual blemishes, but should play through without skipping or repeating. Light to moderate surface noise and/or crackle may be present, however not overly distracting. Covers may have moderate ring and/or edge wear, cut-outs / hole punches, or a moderate wear
