The two songs on this lathe cut 7" were recorded live while we were on tour!  Adam and Nathan Totally Kick Ass was recorded live in Seattle on 12/11/22 and Sorry About Your Irony was recorded live on 1/22/19 in Gainesville, FL.

This is a 1 of 1 record, meaning it is the only one in existence!  There is no other official recording of these songs from these shows.  It is signed by the band and the label is hand written by Kristian.

It comes with a custom ETE thumb drive on which are the two songs as wav files for your digital enjoyment.

Here is some info on lathe cut 7" singles:

Lathe Cut Records are made using one of the oldest methods of recording sound. A good way to understand it is as the opposite of a record player. The record needle rides inside the record groove picking up minute sound vibrations which then are amplified out to a speaker. 

A recording lathe does the opposite by amplifying sound into a record cutter head that carves those sound vibrations into a groove on a rotating platter.  This is how all records are mastered and how most sound was recorded up until the 1950s. 

These sound more akin to an old soul 45, not the new Daft Punk 180 gram vinyl. 
 
Here are some things to keep in mind:  

- The grooves aren't as deep "pressed vinyl" so occasionally it takes dropping the needle more than once to get it into the groove properly. 

- If it is not sounding right, it also helps to adjust the tonearm weight (make it heavier towards the needle cartridge) and reduce or adjust anti-skating. 
 
- If your turntable does not have these, a good trick is to put a penny (nothing too heavy!) on top of the needle cartridge to add a little more weight and keep it in the groove.  This is most common with Crosley or newer plastic light turntables. 
 
- Lathe Cut Records are a little quieter than pressed vinyl. Turn it up a notch.
