Rare Acetate 10” Record - I Wish I Was 18 Again - Masterfonics Nashville (George Burns?)
Description:
This is a rare acetate (lacquer) record featuring the song I Wish I Was 18 Again, cut at Masterfonics in Nashville. It comes from the estate of Morty Jacobs, longtime music director for George Burns. Given this connection, it is highly likely that the recording features George Burns himself.
• Format: 10” Acetate / Lacquer Record
• Song: I Wish I Was 18 Again
• Artist (Likely): George Burns
• Songwriter: Sonny Throckmorton
• Studio: Masterfonics, Nashville
• Single-Sided with Metal Edge
This acetate would have been used for test purposes, possibly as a reference copy for Morty Jacobs during Burns’ recording sessions. Acetates are unique, short-lived pressings that were never mass-produced, making this a rare collector’s item.
Condition:
The disc shows visible wear and some surface marks (see photos). As with all acetates, playback quality may vary. Sold as-is.
A great piece of music history, especially for collectors of rare acetates, George Burns memorabilia, or country music artifacts.
