IMPORTANT:
Due to limitation of the release we'd require to keep it available as ONE COPY PER PERSON. If your order includes more than one copy, it will be canceled and refunded. We're sorry about this, but it's important to have it available for as many individuals as possible instead of encouraging hoarding.
PLEASE READ BEFORE PLAYING THIS RECORD
Note that this lathe cut record was made one-at-a-time, in real time, by an actual 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, and will sound somewhat different than the original master. 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 be listenable and sound pretty good considering the circumstances of it's birth. It might also require tonearm and anti-skate adjustement in order to track correctly due to to hard plastic having slightly smaller grooves than a traditional record. If it sounds overly distorted, lift the needle and drop again, or gently nudge the needle to the side. Occasionally, the needle gets caught on the side of the groove or in between then grooves. Do not use an automatic start on your player! If the center hole is too tight for your spindle, gently use one arm of a pair of scissors to widen the hole. These records will NOT degrade or harm your needle or cartridge.

My NWW collection is growing slowly...only because I have to savour Mr. Stapleton's output over time; it becomes all-consuming otherwise, I find...it is so rich that veins have to be mined deeply and with care. John Cratchley
