unitstructures Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Valdo Williams - New Advanced Jazz mystery test pressing So this says side three and four, but this album was a single LP as released.... Unheard music? Or a mismatch? What's the deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 That pressing shows three cuts on the one side. The Savoy record has two cuts per side. And Capitol? For a Savoy test pressing? Interesting ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nessa Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Looks like a reference acetate to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 But for what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted February 28, 2023 Report Share Posted February 28, 2023 Haven't dug out the Savoy in a long time but it does sound like the music from the Savoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster_Ties Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 True story: I’ve been trading txt-msg’s the last hour with a friend in the know — who I’d sent a link to this topic. And he told me “I still think Valdo sounds like Erroll Garner on acid.” And further that “…if you told AI to fabricate Erroll Garner playing “Impressions”, it would sound like the first cut on Valdo's album.” So my theory is this lacquer (and my friend thought it was a lacquer too, he said Chuck was right)… So now my working theory is this Valdo Williams thing from the past, was AI-generated Erroll Garner sent back from the future!!!!!!! You heard it here first!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSngry Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 In the future, will they put three tracks on an acetate side when the record only has two? And in the future, will Savoy/Medallion Studios engage with some kind of Capitol facility? These are my questions to the past from the future.

Spontooneous Posted March 1, 2023 Report Share Posted March 1, 2023 Howdy all. I love a good mystery disc. Guessing that the Capitol thing is the least of the issues here. But there might be a good story as to how Herman Lubinsky came to hold blank Capitol lacquers. (Wouldn't be surprised to find that Capitol sold blank lacquers on the side -- can anybody confirm or deny?) The biggest questions are whether this lathe-cut disc holds unissued music, which seems highly possible, and how much unissued music there might be. I'm not affiliated with the seller.
