Anything goes! Inventors! Artists! Cutting edge solutions to old problems. But also non-commercial usage of record cutting. Cost- effective, cost-ineffective, nutso, brilliant, terribly fabulous and sometimes fabulously terrible ideas.

Golden Boots - White Skeleton X-Ray Flexi

After years of trying to cut Xrays with various styli, and having only utter failure (expcept when using an xray that was glued to a piece of poly for stability and a diamond stylus), I talked Pirates Press into pressing some for me on their flexi press. Sort of noisy, occasional tracking issues, but after 5 sets of test pressings (I'm sure they hate me now), they really got it dialed in about as well as you possibly can, I think. And damn, do they look cool!

Most cool. Is that a double groove in the leadout?

I was wondering about that as well. It's not a double groove record... it was a DMM master by GZ in Czech.
