Title: MFN acetate "Master Room"
Post by: JF on May 23, 2020, 01:00:56 AM
Somebody asked me something about an acetate edition, because he can't find any infos about it

I am not expert in such things, but I thought that there could be some people here who could answer this  :)

he has got a 10' acetate "master room" edition of Money for nothing, with a 4min38 length
it is a different one than the "Town house" edition. This one is known, but the "master room" seems to be unknown. No infos found

Does anybody knows something about it ?

thanks in advance

Some info about Master Room here:

https://www.discogs.com/label/830811-Master-Room-Company-Limited

And here

https://www.discogs.com/artist/375165-Arun-Chakraverty

Looks to be an established cutting house for major labels.

Is the mix / cut any different ? Sound clip would be good

I don't know the guy personnally. He just sent me a message as he saw I was into DS/MK stuff but that's all

Must be an edited mix with that timing maybe someone can identify it from the timing

You can see from the image provided that it is a version with quite a long into..you can tell by the mark of the vinyl

That acetate is probably a test press after mastering and prior  to pressing.

With that timing of over 4mins it would probably be for a 10 or 12 inch  rather than a 7 inch record but I could be wrong

For what you say, the owner of that acetate never played it...

I asked Mimmo Carrata, which has a copy of it, and says it's just the regular MFN edit version.
