So the acetate with a studio version Hangman does not exist? But John S Stuart has been on these forums for years defending his claim of ownership of just such an acetate.
While we're on the topic.. what were Greg Brook's last comment about the status of this particular holy grail? Can he confirm a studio version of hangman does exist on JSS's acetate or are we all just to take JSS on his word...? [/QUOTE]

why are you shouting at me? I just asked JSS if he was saying your acetate was a fake. I don't think it's a fake. JSS seems to think that.

Sigh. Handbags at dawn.
See what I meant in the other thread about how competitive "Fanthology" members are?[/QUOTE]
Perhaps there is a discrepancy as to who is a fanthology member and who isn't.
As far as I can see there is no such competition here.

Yes, the main reason for me not bidding higher on the SSOR acetate was the fact of the 12" size and so it was with the "Fat Bottomed Girls" acetate.
I have no idea about the labels on acetates and there look a like during the years. So as a virgin in this type of collecting, it's hard not to be fooled.
Here I read a lot of arguments that are able to convince me on both sides. In the end you have to ask yourself how much you're willing to pay for items like these.
I don't think ebay will offer any help if you're fooled with wrong or faked contents. I mean how should they now if this is a real demo of Queen or not when we're hardly able to
do so (see the start of this discussion). All you can do is to believe that the thing you bought is genuine or worth the money for a better sleep at night (as I did after buying a carpet in Esfahan for a lot of money) or to offer it to someone else or on ebay after saving the content on tape or digital or whatever. Maybe ebay is the easiest way to buy acetates without bigger circumstances but it is the easiest way to be fooled, too. It's a hard life. It's seems to be easy to fake records indeed.
In my favourite record store in my home town the owner showed me faked coloured vinyls of various albums from the early and middle 90's. For example Pink Floyds "Devision Bell" or "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" from the Smashing Pumpkins. The records are looking genuine thin and the sleeves are only suspicious because of the paper. On ebay you can't feel the paper or handle the weight of the record.
