Post by: Fall Breaks on April 08, 2009, 09:13:14 AM
Found this on the Swedish equivalent to Ebay:

What's a metal acetate? Why are they made? Is it worth 400 kr = $50?

I have the exact same thing, complete with the lead sheet, except the tune is "The Warmth of the Sun".  I bought mine off ebay for something like $250 a few years back.  These were made in the 1970s, I believe... check out the "Almo music" designation on the labels, which date the discs to after 1969 when Murry sold the publishing rights to Almo.
