Collector FAQ

Why so limited?

Every release is lathe cut by hand — one groove at a time. It's a slow, deliberate process. We typically cut 25–50 copies max. When they're gone, they're gone. No repress.

How do I know when a drop happens?

Join the priority list below. You'll get an email 72 hours before each release goes live, with a direct link to purchase. Priority list members get first access.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship worldwide. UK orders typically arrive within 3–5 days. International orders vary by location but usually 7–14 days. All records are shipped in sturdy mailers to protect the wax.

Can I hear previews before buying?

Previews go live 72 hours before each drop. We don't do early leaks — part of the experience is the anticipation. Trust the label.

What's lathe cut vs pressed vinyl?

Pressed vinyl is mass-produced from a stamper. Lathe cut is carved directly into a blank disc — one at a time. It's more raw, more limited, and each copy is slightly unique. True collector pieces.
