about

Alternate versions of two tracks from Moonwood's cassette 'Arrivals & Departures'

Stripped down 'post-punk' mix of "Mother's Eyes" and a 'rockabilly' mix of "Jupiter". Both in mono, scratched to clear vinyl.

NOTES ON THE LATHE-CUT (from the cutter).

A) The groove on a lathe cut is EMBOSSED, not CUT, so it is not as deep a groove. This does not affect audio quality, but it does mean that a record player with a damaged or worn-out stylus will tend to skate, and will not work for our records. Also, occasionally your stylus will land BETWEEN the grooves, resulting in a strange, distorted playback. In this case (maybe 1 in 10 times you drop the needle) simply lift the tone arm, and drop it again in a slightly different position, or just gently nudge the stylus. You will hear the needle drop into the groove, and the audio will sound crystal clear. If this doesn't work, try adding stylus weight on your record player, or placing a penny on the cartridge. If this doesn't work, sorry, you need a new needle!

B) The audio on a lathe cut disk is in MONO, to the standards of late 50's recording practices. This difference means that although it will play very well on a modern stereo record player, it is about 6db quieter, and you will have to use that stereo of yours, and turn up the volume a bit!

C) There is more 'noise' then a modern LP, the pops and crackles will be audible, even when your record is brand new.

D) Although the cutter-head and amplifier used in the making of your record are exceptionally high quality, the nature of the techniques involved in creating a lathe cut disk results in some loss of clarity, especially in the very high, and very low frequency bands. Again, you may need to use that stereo of yours and pump up the bass and the treble!

E) Unlike dub plates, lacquers, flexi-disks, and many lathe-cuts, our lathe cut disks will NOT wear out with use any faster then a vinyl record, so go ahead and play your record all you want! It wont wear out!

F) Our records are made by hand so they won't be perfectly finished like a factory-pressed vinyl record.
