Lathes

In this episode, I sit down with Tasha Trigger of Lathe to the Grave — a UK-based company making handmade lathe cut vinyl records.

Presented by A to Z Media (http://atozmedia.com)

We break down what lathe cuts are, how they’re made, and why they’re a smart option for indie artists and small labels who want limited-edition records without the cost or risk of traditional pressing.

Tasha shares her passion for the craft, her thoughts on pricing and sound quality, and some of the more eccentric projects she’s cut (including a record of someone saying the C-word 500 times). We also talk about packaging, small-run merch strategies, and why lathe cuts are more than just music — they’re collectibles.
