Because it is an acetate, I dare not play test it. The surface is completely intact. It is the best looking acetate I have ever seen. This record is NOT available from any other source on the internet (I have searched extensively)), in fact, I believe it is one-of-a-kind, the only copy ever made. I believe it was a live on air performance that was recordedby the station, so that they would be able to rebroadcast it at a later date.
