DESCRIPTION:
This must be the rarest record that I own. There couldn't of been many acetates of Psychic T.V handed out by C.B.S / Some Bizarre, and shelved in record collections.

This 7" acetate contains four songs from the then yet to be released, 'Dreams Less Sweet' album.
Coincidently 'Dreams Less Sweet' is not only my favourite Psychic T.V album, but also one of my favourite albums by any band or artist. The album still gets a spin a couple of times a year, over thirty five years since I got a copy (with the 'Full Pack' 12" single included).

One side of the acetate has the songs 'Orchids' and 'Finale'. The other side has the songs 'White Nights' and 'Ancient Lights'.

Aside from my one 7" acetate with all four songs featured on both of the sides, C.B.S also pressed up two extremely limited edition 7" vinyl versions with the same songs on to hand out to the press and the radio stations to promote the 'Dreams Less Sweet' album prior to release.

The two 7" vinyl versions have two songs pressed up on each record.

The first 7" vinyl had the songs on the 'A' side of my acetate, 'Orchids' and 'Finale'. The second 7" vinyl had the songs on the 'B' side of my acetate, 'White Nights' and 'Ancient Lights'.

There were less than seventy copies of each pre-release 7" vinyl pressed up supposedly.

T.O.P.Y in Beck Road, Hackney sold a batch of those 7" vinyl records for £20 each. An immense amount of money in the early to mid 1980's.

There was probably only a handful of acetates, the record that I own, produced.

The concept, the thoughts, the ideas, the technology and the numerous performers and field recordings that went into the production of 'Dreams Less Sweet' is immense, and could take several hundred words to explain properly, so I won't.

Thankfully 'Lord Lucan' from Julian Cope's 'Head Heritage' online site has. So I have added that text to the comments.
