Cutting your own voice to vinyl in real time, no matter how short the recording, costs hundreds (thousands?) of dollars -- even using low-end equipment.

I think 75 cents was a bargain back then.

It’s so weird to me that vinyl has been around for decades and is old, even though the idea of it is futuristic as Fuck lol.
