A spot for keeping track of especially cool (informative, fun) videos, photos, scans and other links about record cutting. (You can post them in other sections. Eventually they may end up here.) NOTE: Please put *Circuits, Schematics and Manuals* in the section with that name.

Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips explains how the band's psychedelic vinyl is pressed.

"Many thanks to A+R for letting us take over their plant!!! Pressing vinyl like this slows the process down a lot. We hope you guys dig the results. Thanks to Daniel Huffman and Zac Cox for the 12 hour days!!" -The Flaming Lips

In the comments: "The presses and stampers are actually designed to be pressed with a paper center label. That amongst other things is the reason why all their records are coming out pre-warped. "
