About the Mastercut

In the conventional record production process, the term "Mastercut" refers to a template disc from which the pressing stamper is derived and which is destroyed in that process. But in our editions, each and every record is the original Mastercut, cut directly into a lacquer disc. Making this premium-quality component of record production widely available for the first time!

Our Mastercut Records are cut directly from completely unedited 1:1 copies of carefully selected original tapes of carefully selected sound recordings.
