Here’s a new one I’m putting out very soon:
It’s a lathe cut edition of 30 copies. Although the per record cost is expensive, I’ve found the lathe cut option to be a good fit for me. I usually hand make the packaging and have been happy with the results.
A word of advice about lathes - look for someone using a current production lathe. The old lathes are all mono and usually produce cuts that are high in surface noise. I’ve used both Personal Touch Vinyl in Montreal and Vinylizer in Toronto. Certain they use the same machine (the Souri lathe), which cuts in stereo and produces really good sounding records. I’d say almost as good as factory pressed, maybe a bit more surface noise, but only a touch.
For bigger runs (100 copies) I’ve used Gotta Groove too and was happy with the results. I’m preparing another release for 2020 that I think I’ll go all out for and press 100 - there seem to be more places offering this now at fairly reasonable prices.
