JEFF BRITTON (SIC.) & THE SPITFIRES - RUB OUT - DECCA 7" ACETATE RECORDING. A fantastic single sided 7" acetate recording of this early demo recording from Geoffrey Britton's personal archive. The acetate contains a printed 'Decca Group Advance Recording' labels with the timing of '3-37' in red print. The acetate is in very well preserved VG+ condition showing a few light and minor surface marks though nothing heavier at all. This copy is Geoffrey Britton’s personal acetate and contains an unreleased version of the song ‘Rub Out’, most likely an early studio take or demo recording. Featuring a piano line that was later abandoned, the acetate runs at 3:37, 40 seconds longer than the single that clocks in at 2:57. The acetate version of ‘Rub Out’ has never been issued officially or otherwise. Following his departure from Wings, Geoff Britton (named on the single as Jeff) was offered a one single deal with Decca Records, which saw the release of ‘Rub Out’ b/w ‘Breakwood.’ With its hypnotic drumbeat and thundering synth and guitar lines, the anthemic ‘Rub Out’ was a pioneering electro-rock record that sounds as fresh in 2021 as it did when it was recorded back in 1976.
