The Whippets (Wings) – "Proud Mother" / "Tomorrow" – EMI Studios 7" Acetate

An original double-sided EMI acetate coupling "Proud Mother" and "Tomorrow," from the personal collection of Wings drummer Geoff Britton. It bears printed EMI Studios labels with the artist, titles and timings written by hand — one side marked "Proud Mother (Long Version)," the other "Tomorrow."

Both sides were cut in EMI Studio 2 on 22 September 1974, engineered by Geoff Emerick, with Wings recording under the pseudonym "the Whippets." "Proud Mother" is the unused long version of a jingle McCartney wrote for Mother's Pride bread. "Tomorrow," first released as a song on Wild Life (1971), appears here in a 1974 instrumental reworking, its vocal line replaced by synth and horns.

The acetates were likely pressed in EMI's lacquer room the next day, 23 September 1974. This copy was handed to Britton by McCartney himself and comes directly from the drummer's own collection.

The condition of the Acetate is Very good + with only a couple of light surface marks and nothing heavier.
