Came across a weird new-to-me kind of object at the thrift store. 45 RPM single with a handwritten label, "take 5" after the song title. I looked it up and it seems this is from a studio that did direct-to-vinyl lathe cut recordings - they got a band into the studio and had them perform the same song a bunch of times, with each take being cut to a vinyl exactly once during the recording process itself.

Sound quality is pretty bad, but it's a cute concept.

Photo of a vinyl with handwritten markings indicating it’s by the band Native Harrow, that the song is “For Nothing (take 5)”, and that it was recorded on 9/25/17. The label is Leesta Vall.

When I say "new-to-me", I mean that I've seen lathe-cut records before, but the "live recording straight to vinyl during the performance" concept is new to me.

(I'm far enough behind the times here that this company has shut down already after doing this idea for a few years, haha.)
