Van Halen Orig. Acetate: "Beautiful Girls" w/tech notes

Item Details

Description

This item is an original acetate of the hit Van Halen track "Beautiful Girls" (which appeared on the Van Halen II album) used as a reference copy. The single was released Sept. 15, 1979 so the acetate dates from that time.

Acetates are rare because they are test copies of a record, pressed in a very limited number and given to the artist, their producer, engineer and record label executives to make a final decision as to whether it is ready for release.

Comes in its original Warner Bros. sleeve and accompanied by an original copy of the two-page production notes for the recording.

Item Highlights:

Original acetate of Van Halen's 1979 hit "Beautiful Girls" from Van Halen II album
Original Warner Bros. sleeve
Original production notes for the recording
Extremely rare
Acetate in excellent, playable condition, inner and outer sleeves have wear as shown
Fantastic, custom collectible for any Van Halen fan
Dimensions 10" x 10"
