  • Limited Edition 10" Lathe Cut Vinyl
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    This is a super rare edition 10" Lathe Cut Vinyl Record of Pine Barrens Volume One.
    For record enthusiasts, collectors, and those who love surface noise and lathe cut vinyl.

    It plays at 33 1/3 RPM.
    Each one is one-of-a-kind and hand made by For The Record in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

    Because of the amount of time on a 10", the vinyl has five songs on it:

    Side A:
    1. Depression Song
    2. Mt. Holly Jail

    Side B:
    Love Is A Gamble
    The Unquiet Grave
    Herdman Hymn (Duet)

    NOTE: This is not an audiophile, super-HD plate pressing, but instead is hand made on a lathe from the 1940's and sounds like a recording from that era, which is what we intended when we recorded the songs at The Boghouse in the Pine Barrens.

    For The Record suggests: Lathe cut records have shallower grooves and some needles may skip across the record. Please make sure the vinyl and needle are clean before playing. They also suggest increasing the anti-skipping setting and/or increasing weight on the tonearm compared to plate pressed vinyl.

about

This song originated as "Beaulah Land" a hymn written by Edgar Page Stites in Ocean Grove, NJ in the 1870s.

Between then and the 1920s the hymn made its way through the Pines, down through the Appalachians, and to Mississippi where it took new forms in the AME church.

Decades later, Mississippi John Hurt recorded his blues "Beulah Land", which we took as our inspiration for this version. From Jersey, down to the Delta, and back again.

In 2021, we played this song just North of Ocean Grove, and the crowd sang it back so loud it shook the stage we were on. Outshine the sun, indeed.
