Can't you picture someone sitting in their room with the thought that they're not going to check out the new Eisley record until the vinyl is released...and then nearly four years go by and they're still waiting for the vinyl release.? I mean, that's funny...right? In a related note, that would be really nice to see an LP of that one. _________________ "On a freezing note, I resonate.

It's also funny that WB thought The Valley had no potential. Now that's hysterical. Nope, never going out of style. _________________ http://www.twitter.com/drstrangeblog http://www.last.fm/user/getinline I can't find the time to write my mind the way I want it to read. |

This album is just smooth sailing on the awesome seas for me! Okay, that was a pathetic metaphor, but whatever, these tracks are hitting me so hard! Makes me feel so much better about crappy situations I've been through. |

I love how they qualified their statement "similar to that of commercially cut vinyl" Well, mass produced vinyl is cut to a metal disc with a machine that's gotta be over $100,000, and then is molded into a stamp to make the copies. They can't say that the process is the exact same, because it's patently not. It's more like how studios in the 20s and 30s would record albums direct to disc. That's why you're "cutting a record" in the studio. A turntable with any kind of speed stability and audio transparency can cost upwards of $5 - 10,000. Seriously. The artifacts on an inexpensive record player are really cool, but I don't think DJs would want them permanently baked into records. It's kind of a silly idea for audiophiles, though. Unless you are recording your own music straight from 2" tape or something. I'm sure DJs would get a lot of use out of them, though. |

There was a Dance Hall artist named Mad Lion that cut his own records, but he had a vintage lathe he bought from a NYC studio that was getting rid of it. It might have been like this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0nrdN_Q4B8&safety_mode=true&persist_sa fety_mode=1 or this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPIi33vQ5Bs&feature=related&safety_mode =true&persist_safety_mode=1 but yeah, the terms "Getting a Record Pressed" & "Cutting a Record" used to be literal. I can imagine a vintage one for that 15K, but the tech that goes into these devices is not that sophisticated, so making a new one, at least the cost, I can't imagine being anywhere near 15K. So perhaps you're paying for the scarcity factor because they're in limited production? _________________ yup, that's my name.
