This is an approximately 8″ by 10″ custom high quality camera photograph shot in person by jazz photographer and collector Ray Avery of Phil Spector in the recording studio actually conducting his musicians 1960s. Extremely rare to find a photograph with Ray Avery’s 1960s address stamped on the back. This is one selection out of a highly important collection of acetates, test pressings, standard production records and entertainment awards from a media collection that ranges from the 1950s through the 1990s and was owned by a highly talented and diverse individual who served in a variety of jobs in the music and movie divisions of the entertainment industry most notably including serving as a Director in the Promotions Department of the Beatles record company, Apple Records. This individual also worked in the executive office of Phil Spector Productions in the early to mid 1970s. Most of the acetates and test pressings in this collection had standard record studio acetate and pressing plant test pressing labels but there are some from earlier in the audio review s. Tage of record production that have no labels at all. Unlabled reference acetates have to be listened to on a record player in order to determine what they are. This particular test photo or other item was Phil Spector’s personal work test p. I would say that this test pressing was used for making decisions about the final mixes of the songs on the album or 45. As I said, The former Apple Records employee who owned this item also worked with Phil Spector on a regular basis. I was told by this employee that Phil Spector would frequently discard record production materials such as acetates and test pressings, recording equipment and regular production records once he no longer needed those items. Check my past and present listings for more rare Philles and Apple Records records, acetates and awards. This item will come with a Letter of Authenticity signed by myself.
