816. The Babys. Set of four Chrysalis Records acetates: the first, a double-sided 10˝ acetate of The Babys’ 1979 songs ‘Every Time I Think of You/Love Don’t Prove’—an especially interesting pairing, as these two songs were never released together as a single. Next, a doublesided 10˝ acetate of ‘Every Time I Think of You,’ featuring a stereo mix on one side and mono version on the other, with a pencil notation to the mono side’s label, “Noisy.” Finally, two single-sided 10˝ acetates of their 1977 hit ‘Isn’t It Time,’ one featuring a stereo version and one a mono version. Featuring vocals from the Babettes, this song closes with their chorus heard alternatively in the left and right channels a result of Nevison’s production work. All are identified in type on The Mastering Lab labels with the track listing and artist info, and are in overall very fine condition. All originate from the personal collection of legendary engineer and producer Ron Nevison. RR Auction COA.…(MB $200)
