Acetates are records that is more or less often recorded at 78-rpm speed, and are general, 10 inches in diameter, and they are recorded on primal home made disc recorders, which had been on widespread sale during the 1940s. Acetate records are of aluminium metal base coated with black lacquer and the recording stylus scores the groove whilst recording. In the sound system world of Jamaica, acetate records are known as "dub-plates!"

 

First Recorded Discs Records

Recording artistes were to remain unidentified, and up until 1904. The first recorded discs could only play for time of 1.5 minutes. It is noted that the first recording star Fedor Schaljapin at first was scared out of his wits believing that his singing voice would disappear into the record during the recording session. This made him form a cross over his body with his hands before each record was made. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have liked to have been there to see him, it probably would look like some kind of  clowning antics!
