| | Small world, currently on eBay is the mono A side acetate of this album which has same handwriting as mine.
Out of curiosity I contacted the person, it turns out that he was a session player and worked at IBC studio at that time and has had the record all this time, not only that but he went to the same school and friends with the person who showed me around the studio and new his family, which I was able to update him on as he had lost contact with them. |

| | Listening to this again l can clearly hear “I’m an ear sitting in the sky “ though I always heard what was on the title “Armenia City In The Sky “ till yesterday.
Anyone else heard the same. |

| | SkyArt had this album on yesterday, funny finding out that track1 title by Keene a friend of Pete Townshend should be “I’m an ear sitting in the sky” as Keene sang on the track, not “Armenia City In The Sky” which Pete thought was better. A good documentary on the album if you got the time. |

| | Looking at the different sound patterns between vinyl and acetate, would they not be the same for both? Full album and the single track Mary Ann, which shows a closer look at sound waves. |

| | I remember speaking to Brian Carroll (IBC studio) and he was saying about the problem they had linking all the tapes together to get the recording to flow in one, not sure what happen to his website www.ibcstudio.co.uk. |

| | I know I have 2 original Track copies of this record and one is Mono, I am hoping, when I track down the other, that is a Stereo so I can compare it to your acetate.. |

| | @carryonsidney, Ref: my other comment, listening to this on my computer with Bose speakers the sound sounds very good after 48 years, and do not understand Fangs comments on your ‘See Here’ on early recordings. |

| | Just been playing this (after it had been transferred to MP3) in the garage (louder than I would in the house) and listening to it rather than back ground music. Considering it was recorded 1967, the stereo sounds far superior to record of that period, yes it’s an acetate and therefore from the master tape but the sounds coming from both sides with the voice in the middle (simplified explanation ), not having many records to compare to of that period, those that I have had seem a little basic this includes The Beatles, or is this my imagination. |

| | Audiodiscs have an extra hole, personally I think in the 50's the americans probably did supply acetate blanks but EMI would have started making their own pretty quickly to save money.
A fantastic Who related item by the way Getalife. |

| | Have added the Brown cover, I was given four LP acetates, three in the brown covers and one in the Transco cover, any one of them could have been in the Transco cover. |

| | I've read somewhere that Emidiscs were simply re-labeled Transcos and Audio-Discs. |

| | Can't remember if this was the cover or a plain brown one, it was 46 years ago. |
