CUTTING RECORDS OVER 50 YEARS AGO

New York Lathe cuts, A record cutting service in New York City run by record cutting engineer Rich Flores, Cutting Lacquers Since 1972. Walter Gibbons, and I started Melting Pot Sound, a dub plate disc recording service for DJ's in the summer of 1972.

Right now I currently manufacture the only Embossing Sapphire Recording Styli made especially for recording polycarbonate record blanks. 

My First cutting lathe was destroyed at the Apollo fire where the lacquers were made in Banning, CA. I purchased this Neumann record cutting lathe back in 1972 from A&R recording studios in New York.  

I decided to give up the business in 1986 to go into the NEON sign business and sold my lathe to Robert S.Cosulich of TRANSCO PRODUCTS CORP in Linden, NJ. 

 I started In 1980 Flowers Mastering at 750 8th Ave. New York, NY10036. Located in the same building as the RGH Record pressing plant owned by George S. Srolovits.
