Get Back

This isn't an acetate. In fact, it's not real.
But it's a cool item. It is alleged to be a promo package for Glyn Johns' first "Get Back " album that was sent to industry insiders. It was probably issued by The Standing Pig Records. If this were authentic, it would be better described as a promo or a test pressing. These are occasionally auctioned and generally fetch good bids. An example of an auction description is seen below. Click the thumbs below to see the various parts of the package. See what appears to be an authentic Apple "Get Back" LP acetate here |
