burntwolf Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 anyone know anything about this? my buddy sent it to me from a garage punk board: "peter king over in new zealand makes lathe cut records in orders as small as 20 copies. you can get 20 7"s for 100$ and/or 20 lps for 200. i recently released a order of 70 lps of my old band, sold them for 18$ ppd sold them all and pocketed a couple bucks for the trouble. the mp3s of the songs on it i gave away." there was some debate about lathe cut records being crap, but he says they sound fine and there hasn't been a problem w/ them lasting. http://www.garagepunk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=35213 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 i have a lathe cut 7" by a noise dj named, beligham cat hotel or somthing like that. it reminds me of that part in strange brew where they get the computer disc, say looks like a british new wave band, then they play it on the record player and say sounds like a british new wave band. did i mention that it's a square 7" that's why it reminds me of that part. i'm not sure that can, at this point, comment on the sound quality as the actual music on 7" sounds like a 5.25 floppy being played on a victrola.

matt Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 i dont own a lathe record but just from what ive been told is that they cant be played too much as they begin to wear down rather quickly. theyre normally a gimmick based release from noise bands. also peter king is tough to deal with. only correspondence is available via mail. no phone number no email and it takes him quite some time to finish the cuts.

xunspokenliesx Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 People In A Position To Know do a lot of Lathe Cuts...I have numerous ones and I think they sound really good...I haven't had any problems with them wearing down...I think that might be the guy that PIAPTK go through to do their lathe b/c they go through NZ...
