Note: It seems that a few acetates were made at Sterling Sound Studios in New York, October 12th 1972. (unconfirmed)



The allegedly original labels (from an unauthorized vinyl replica-edition of " Necrophilia")
Two of the songs on the acetates were dropped from the track listing on the sleeve, "Think" and "Good Times".
"Aftermath" in the acetate is the 1964 instrumental "And Mr Spector And Mr. Pitney Came Too". (?)





post scriptum
"Aftermath" was the title given to "And Mr Spector And Mr. Pitney Came Too" by Andrew Oldham or by ABKCO in the BMI files.
(according to Felix Aeppli)

"On Friday 15th September (1967) acetates of possible masters were cut for each of the band.
The tracks were (with final titles in brackets): "Aftermath" (2000 Light Years From Home), "God Bless You" (Sing This All Together), "After Five" (Citadel), "Pieces", "Flowers" (She´s A Rainbow), "Flowers In Your Hair" (Gomper), "No Title", "Dream Pipe", "Flying High" (The Lantern), "Bill´s Tune" (In Another Land) and "Surprise Me".
(according to Bill Wyman´s Book "Rolling With The Stones")

  1. The picture above shows the copy of Oldham, he had cover and acetate. Gered Mankowitz had a cover only.

  2. Thank you for let us know!
    I´m pretty sure I took the cover scan from "Not Fade Away" book by Geoffrey Giuliano, but the acetate pic was taken from the web, from popsike or an auction some years ago, I can´t remember (maybe a bootleg repro disc?).
    How many more acetates exists?...
    All the best
