Hello, welcome to the website for Plastidisc Lathe Cut Records. Based in north Wales (UK), I turn flat black / white / transparent plastic discs into objects that make stereophonic sound when played on a gramophone / turntable / record player, using audio that you send to me. You can have one of them, one hundred of them (perhaps) or any number inbetween. From a one-sided 5″ lasting 10 seconds to a full 40 minute 12″ album, anything is possible.
Well, nearly anything.
(Note: The sleeve photos above are only there to look good. I didn’t actually make them, just the discs within. See the FAQ…)
I’ve made lots of discs (current estimate in early ’25: 12,500+) for individual artists and musicians, and also for esteemed record labels such as Buried Treasure, Castles In Space, Finders Keepers, Country Mile, WEB13, Murmurations, Waxing Crescent, Phuture Shock Musik, Fenny Compton, Freshmilk and more besides. I know what I’m doing.
Have a click around the menu at the top of the page to see what I do, how I do it, and what it might cost to get me to do it for you if you wanted me to do it.
Recent feedback (early 2025):
“… it sounds amazing… the frequency range and stereo image is superb.”
“…amazing, he loved it, he could not believe his eyes, and he could also not believe how good the sound quality was…”
“…Sam who did the mastering couldn’t believe it was a lathe cut, another customer would only buy a lathe cut record on the condition that you’d cut it…”
“…records now received – sounding & looking superb as per!”
“…The 4 records arrived safely today and we have played through them all. What an amazing job, thank you very much.”
“I have to say how impressed I am… I have a pretty unforgiving system – there is zero hiss or background noise, the bass is firm and clear. His voice sounds lovely and warm…”

- * The word ‘vinyl’ is used here as a catch all term for ‘a thing you put onto a record player’ rather than the actual material. What do I mean? See the FAQ for more details.
