Notes:
Lazer Guided Melodies is the first installment in Fat Possum's four-part "[l2182069".
This limited special edition pressed on 180g white vinyl and housed in a gatefold sleeve with heavyweight custom inner sleeves.
Available from Fat Possum's webstore, Bandcamp, VMP, and various indie retailers (standard black vinyl edition here).
On Mastering & Manufacturing:
Per Fat Possum, this release "...mastered from a half speed lacquer cut from original sources by Alchemy Mastering".
Per side A runout, Alchemy's senior mastering engineer, Barry Grint ("Bazza"), did the mastering/cutting.
Again per runouts, GZ Media manufactured metal stampers from Alchemy's lacquer master.
And, finally, Memphis Record Pressing used GZ's stampers to press the vinyl.
On Runouts, Sides A-D:
Each runout includes both stamped and hand-etched sections and characters. For the most part, sections consisting of stamped characters are inverted (upside-down) relative to the hand-etched sections. For simplicity's sake, runouts are recorded here in sectional sequence, as encountered by the traveling needle, with inverted sections in reading order.
