| scrough No picture 'cos I'm not into 45rpm :( Member since Jan 2013 3428 Points Moderator | The 'recent LPs' are more likely to be CDs. According to Wikipedia she did make one LP titled 'Little Star' which would have been on Decca, but I wasn't able to locate a track list. |

 | TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | It could ether be an acetate of an actual album, released or not, or it could be something made for personal use by someone in the studio. Looking at the tracks on the acetate, all of them were commercially released at various times, so I would tend to think the latter. If you could scan and post it up to the site, that would be great, and may also attract some more info. |

| lagartija Member since Aug 2017 3 Points | Thanks, I'll post soon pictures. (the acetate is definitively an old one...) and for 'little star' on Decca, that is what I thought first but I haven't find any info on it too... |

 | Fokeman I used to have a good memory but now I can't re Member since May 2011 5096 Points Moderator | Yes, I think you're right - it would have been perfectly possible to make a recording of all her singles and put it onto one disc using the disc-making service offered using something like emidisc blanks. I've seen a number of these in the past and they weren't necessarily done by a studio where the artists were recording. Instead it was a service offered to anyone to make a record from other records or tapes. Looking at the dates of the originals this could have been done any time after about 1965. |

| lagartija Member since Aug 2017 3 Points | Will post the pictures this WE |Just a thought about the disc-making service scenario - which for now is the most likely, we would have had the tracklisting mostly following the 7'...(which is not): It is hard to believe someone making his own tracklisting from the 7' collections if he just wanted to hear them on a LP no? |

| TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | Could be a studio product, cut from tapes. Hard to know why it was made. Look forward to seeing some scans. |

 | KeithS SUBS Member since Dec 2009 12492 Points Moderator | Here's an interesting read about Phil Solomon who's name features as co-producer .http://www.allmusic.com/artist/phil-solomon-mn0001009533 |

| TopPopper Member since Mar 2013 2612 Points | There's nothing much to go on. It's privately made - we know not why. It's something people would do (if they had access to the gear) before cassettes or CD burners, and as with those technologies, it could be in-studio, fan-made, or for some practical purpose, eg to give to someone in the business. Unless someone can glean something from the physical dics, which might give an indication of where it originated, it's impossible to know. Two play holes is curious though. |

Two holes are used on some type of lathes to stop the discs being cut from slipping. You'll see an example in the video below at the 01:20 mark of a two holed disc being fitted on to the lathe. Edited by sladesounds on 12th Sep 2017, 3:55 PM |

| getalife So many questions, so few answers Member since Nov 2010 877 Points Moderator | I have had the same problem with some of my 45rpm acetates, have spoken to two from IBC studios, but their memory not that good, even try to contact Barry Gibb (fat chance of that) for information. Ref: holes in acetates, all the acetates I got from IBC studios do not have any extra holes in them, be it 45rpm or 33rpm. The lath in the video is completely different to the one I saw on my visit to IBC studio. |

 | carryonsidney ● a happy disposition is an omnious sign.... Member since Feb 2010 1707 Points Moderator | twinned holed acetates were an american standard from early days of records, as the video demonstrates one the holes is for a holding pin - this ensures the discs dont slip when they are being carved. Phil Soloman passed away just a couple of years ago in Bournemouth actually, he was 91 [roughly]. The circumstances of Twinkle's career are bit vague, with "retirement" at 18, but she came back later on. Its not inconceivable to me that Decca or her management may have planned an album. I think you have an original 60's disc there, its all Decca material and the lettering on the disc is done in that waxy crayon. I have had here some 7" acetates with exact same kind of notation on them. Its looks to me like a genuine album tryout. |
