The Truth About Lathe Cut Vinyl

Reveal The Truth recently released their Courage demo on vinyl. This ain't your average vinyl pressing though, these were created using a lathe cutting machine. This is a really old process used for cutting records by hand, and apparently the only guy that still does it is in New Zealand. Due to the cost and effort to create records using this process, it is limited to only small runs of vinyl. So when Reveal The Truth announced that their record was going to be limited to 50, I jumped on it as soon as Thunder Lizard had them up for sale.


The whole package on this thing is mint. Nicely screened covers, clear vinyl, A and B side stamped records and inserts, plus each one is hand numbered. Because of the cost involved in creating the vinyl on this, Thunder Lizard is only selling them as package deals with a t-shirt option...but really, $12.95 for a t-shirt and this record is a great deal. Get in on this.
