I was lucky enough to go to Austin Psych Fest this year in Austin, Texas and got my hands on this super rare Flaming Lips plexiglass lathe-cut 10-inch. This is not a regular cut as it has 4 different versions of The Beach Boys song "Good Vibrations". Instead of pressing this album like a regular boring band, Lathecuts.com pressed this as a "four sided record" for The Flaming Lips. There are 3 different holes in the record to play 4 different songs which are listed below. The outer ring on side A is the song "Good Vibrations" in it's entirety. The inner ring is a separate one minute remix. The other side of the record has two alternate rings with two more one minute remixes which need to be played from the 2 outside holes. These records were only available at the Austin Psych Fest this year. This is a must have for any devoted Flaming Lips fan as only 350 were made.

The artist who designed the label artwork (Oliver Hibert) was at the festival as well and was kind enough to autograph the cover and take a picture with his whole group. I added the photo of them and a few photos from The Flaming Lips' concert to show you just how awesome all of these people at psych fest really were. I can't wait to go back again some day.

Please note that this lathe cut record was made one-at-a-time, in real-time, by a real person, from plexiglass using an experimental process and 70 year old machines. It is not a pressed record and may have slightly more surface noise or an occasional light distortion in some frequencies. The volume will also be a little lower than a modern "post-loudness-war" record, so pump up the volume. It won't be audiophile, but it ought to sound pretty good considering the circumstances of its' birth. It might also require tonearm adjustment (light weight and neutral anti-skate) in order to track correctly due to the hard plastic having slight shallower grooves than a traditional record. They do not always play well on some low-end turntables. If it sounds overly distorted, lift the needle and drop again, sometimes the needle gets caught on the side of the groove and a little nudge will drop it into the bottom of the groove. These records will not degrade or harm your needle or cartridge. If you have any questions, email us at Lathecuts at yahoo.com"
