These are two test pressings of the Rock-afire Explosion 45 RPM records, "Born To Run" and "The Colander Head Song", AKA "Strain Your Brain".
They were "lost" in my garage for over 40 years. They are the size of a normal LP, because these metallic test pressing blanks are used for both 7" 45 RPM's and 12" LP's by the pressing company, QCA. They both have a black paint like material flaking off of the metallic surface except on the area where the music actually is. It appears the black "stuff" that has separated and flaked off was purely cosmetic to make the metal look like a normal "record". I left the flakes in the packge. I believe these will still play on a record player or turntable, but the audio may not be perfect due to possible pits that have formed over the years in the audio portion. This is a great, one of a kind collector's item. I am selling these two pressings on eBay at this link: www.ebay.com/i...
Greetings!
Nice video and intresting find, i am the owner of my channel called scott's music roundhouse.
I did wanted say these are not test pressings! Those are what people call an acetate! An acetate is a 12" black coated fine made record only made for approval of the record company too see if it is worth and the mastering was good. Before making an final master record that would later become first a test pressing made from real vinyl and see if it plays well and sound wise approved before begin made officaly as an 7" record for retail. Now as i checked my database these songs did not apear on retail. So its highly thinkable both records were made for side A & Side B as they were cut on 7" lenght . Pretty cool too see these acetates
Sadly those acetates are very rotten. I rarely seen acetates rotting that badlythats very sad. I be happy too save them by making a high end audiophile recodding of it with my quipment too 24kbps 960000hz flac too peserve these collectables as digitial source too peserve its history for archive purpuces. Mainky acetates are ment too be played once. Since they are made from very different kind of material. And as a collector myself. I know how fine acetates grooves are. If tgey are only played over 10 times even with an super light weight needle. They would almost be unplayable.
I hope you find this comment helpfull about what these are!
Maybe you could upload them too the database website "discogs" for other peoples too see and document them!
Cheers from scott's vinyl!
Wow! That's right!! That's coming back to me now! This was my only experience with acetates. It's great to have such a great variety of experts and craftsmen subscribing or watching videos to help me figure things out. May I offer you a free subscription to my Premium Channel in return for your help? Also, do you think there is any reason not to sell these on eBay? They are just a Rock-afire collectable, aren't they? I do have the high quality audio tracks these acetates were made from ( I think).
I didn't know that they had deteriorated any more than any other acetate might have over 40 years since these are the only ones I have found yet. I may have another one somewhere though, so the story is not over. But, these, being stored in my garage went through many Summers at nearly 100 degrees and were in freezing temps in some Winters.
And, Yes! Now that you mentioned it, I think you are right thar these two acetates are Side A and Side B of that 45 RPM record we made! My hat's off to you my friend!! Please connect with me at aaron@starsof.com.
@@therockafire Greetings from my music channel i tought i will reply too this one i got acess too haha!
yea man no problem! i thought it was worth a share from my knowlege about records i learned myself in the short years i been doing it !
i do really loved too help out peserving these pieces of canceled Releases too the public with my equipment but i am afraid it would cost a bit. myself am from the netherlands sadly! or els i would have been very happy too help out and clean up those discs the best i can and make a direct good recording of it that could have been archived!
sometimes 7'' singles contain diffrent edited mixes found on LP's or master tapes. or so to say Edited / Special version. so it would been very intresting what kind of edit or master they used on those acetates. but i think personallty if they would be still be playable. that black coating was helping too keep the audio in good nic without giving the needle that diamond scraping on aliminium. since an acetate is basicly an aluminum disc coated with nitrocellulose lacquer. you can almost say its same material used for the mother stampers. yknow? the shine platter that presses down on the fine PVC melted plastic that creates the Vinyl disk!
and sure i will get in touch! you will see an email soon! thanks for reaching out!

Scott (Scott's vinyl) :)
If he doesn’t end up pulling the sale and sending them out to you would you extend the same offer to whoever buys the acetates?
I just looked up the Rock-A-Fire version of Born to Run. It was really good. I think I like it better than the original. We really had no idea how good we had it back then,do we?
Nice to see you uploading more often!
MY FAVORITE BEACH BEAR SONG!!! Love that you found this! The collander head showtape is my absolute favorite ❤
Its so calming with the rain
I just ordered some of these records and I’m so excited!
Selling it on your eBay account
In the future i plan on buying something for you. You were a big part of my childhood in Illinois.
Very Interesting
Always great to see a new video!
These are test cuts? Didn't know these existed
You have good handwriting.
Hello Aaron Fechter let's check of what is my most rare five nights at Freddy's plush is and it is my jumbo nightmare freddy plush which was a hot topic exclusive i live in Denmark so i had to find it on the Facebook marketplace but funko made that plush so it is a bit cheap in quality but my favorite is hex and sanshee hex has magnets so i can mix them and sanshee was the first to make five nights at Freddy's plush they did it with the first game but stopped until they made new ones about five nights at Freddy's security breach well that is the en of this comment i hope you enjoyed reading this
I’ve been collecting kiss records and I’ve been a fan of the rock afire so I’ve been looking for the showbiz 45s
Aaron can you please do a fan mail video when you have more time😊
Question how did the copy rights work with the stage shows?
Honestly best to try to play them at least once, if you have access to record player.
If I bought the premium channel would I have access to all the previous uploads from all the years? Planning on buying once I get a new job
Interesting
That's so cool! I recently sent you an email asking about your merch store, I was wondering if you are still active on it or if there is a better place to reach out? Thank you!
40 CS go but the locker fire explosion
Please release more premium videos
Aaron i am terrifed at the quality of these how did you let them get this bad
It's natural decay. It was only supposed to be used to approve the sound on the record. Then it was supposed to be thrown away. It was not intended to survive 4 decades.
@@therockafirehey I have a question why don't you do vlogs people would love to see that
I think he does do some more clog style content, it’s just mostly for his premium subscribers
Hey aroon quick question are you gonna repair the moonrockers?
Yes
Great i need advice people are saying that i am a failure and i need to die and i wan to prove them wrong any advice?
...huh?
Don't let people put you down because you know victoria's secret and they don't
You don't need to prove them wrong. They are projecting their own failure in life on you. Just ignore them and keep living your best life.
@@therockafire thank you but My autism makes me think everyone is true and i have to listen what they say about me and they are true about me but i will try my best
Ignore all the negativity coming into life and try to focus on the positives. Dont even try to respond to people saying rude shit to you because its not worth it
Aaron, settle a bet. Is the Rockafire Sun a boy or a girl?
Boy. They're like Chip and Dale.
People who want the rock a fire to sing five nights at Freddy's by the living tombstone😊
Hey Aaron! Do you know what you are going to do with the wolf pack 5?
Operate it in my museum.
@@therockafirethat sounds good also did you heard that scott cawthon is taking a break?
So fans can send you stuff to sign and send back to them?
I'm sorry. I don't have time for that or a place to hold your "stuff" for months as I try to get around to it. However, if you buy something from my eBay account, I'll be happy to sign it or include a thank you note with a signature.
Hey Aaron, this is a very random question but I have fallen in to a rabbit hole of showbiz so here is my question: how far into development did "Project Orwell" get?
You'll have to nudge my memory on this one. i don't remember that name being assigned to any project.
I am not entirely sure if this is just rumors made up by the Internet, but I am told that it was supposedly a Uncle Klunk animatronic that you could control by pressing buttons.
@@therockafire there is a way to restore the records I just have to look it up because I restore audio equipment and I get it working again
Aron can you do a live broadcast again
I'm about to try that out again for only the Premium Channel. We're going to play games live, like, I'll play a second of a song and see who can guess it from the sample, do long distance dedications, and chat about anything. Just for Premiums though because they are the ones supporting me.
@@therockafire but I can’t get the premium channel mr fetcher
Btw I’m British
What happend to the new rock-afire explosion?
Are you going to start up Aaron’s auctions again soon?
I’m pretty sure that was mainly just to sell stuff before he moved, could be wrong though.
