lathe record distributors

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.

Unfortunately, I don't think these will sell at all, for a few reasons.

1. You only have 5.
2. Lathe cut records are quiet and only last 5 plays before wearing out.
3. Most record stores wont sell lathe cuts.

I really hate to say that but it's true.

1. Only 5 copies great then they are rare
2.lathe cuts last as long as pressed records,they don't wear like dubs and with a good lathe you will get the same volume.
3.record stores world wide stock lathe cut records., I know that I've sent out thousands of lathe cut records to stores over 11 years.
4.start cutting yourself then you can comment on us..

You are thinking of lacquer dub plates, which do wear out and will gunk up your playback stylus. Lathe cuts these days are a different beast. Made out of Polycarbknate or soft pvc, they will play indefinitely and your playback needle won't know the difference between one of these and a pressed record.
