- is now in progress. My name is Leonard Beasley. As usual,
- right here on Second Street on College and Second Street in this mall in Bloomington, Indiana. So across
- the street from Wendy's Restaurant. So ladies and gentlemen, I am here right now. I would like to introduce
- my new guest on my show in this office as I would like to introduce an industrial design and
- Product development and the owner of this place phonocraft Manufacturing records and I like to introduce
- my new guest on my show. It's Mr. Jack Kilby. It's good to see you again. Good to see you Lana Thanks
- for having me on your show. Yes is we're finally get to have you be it on my show. Yeah Yes, indeed.
- Mr. Jack So I'm really excited so
- Yeah, I believe it's last five episodes or so if I'm right. So I'm absolutely delighted that I had your
- wife gonna be on my show. Oh yeah, she really enjoyed it. She likes to dance and show off for the camera.
- So she's been enjoying it.
- She looks forward to doing your next show. I guess you got another one coming up. Um, I believe we have
- one. So, so I believe have one anyway. So, so I really excited about it. So, um, before, uh, we're going
- to have this project, I'm glad I first met you right here. Is that right? That's right. Yeah.
- You came in, you, I guess you met my partner, Eric first. Yes. I met your partner, Eric.
- and you gave him, submitted some of your music, told us about your project, and then that's when we
- learned about you. Although I remember seeing you years ago play your drums on Public Access television.
- It was just you playing drums. I remember your face, and then you gave us those songs, and we figured
- out what was gonna be on what side, and we planned out the track list.
- Make sure we got it all just the way you want it and We're waiting on the blanks to come in for that
- to do your 12 inch But today I thought we would do a 7 inch just of one of your songs What song we have
- there? We're gonna play a song called Soak up the Sun summer nights from summer night summer night.
- Oh, yeah Yeah, so look up the Sun from summer nights. Yes. Yep
- we got that in the queue and we're going to show the people out there a little bit of the process how
- how we make records here one at a time where we don't press records here we cut records individually
- and this is sort of a one-stop shop for all your record needs we sell records that other people made
- and and we'll make a record for you we can do five inch seven inch ten inch and twelve inch records
- We can do picture disc records. Like CDs. Like CDs. What do you mean? Oh, CDs. Yeah, yeah. That's right.
- Here's an example. It's not a CD, but it's the size of a CD. The size of a CD. You can only put about
- a minute on there. You don't have any songs that are a minute. No, I don't. If you did, we could do
- one of these, which they're nice and cute. Right. But today we'll be doing a seven inch record, your
- standard seven inch record. Right.
- And we'll be showing people what a record lathe is and how we prepare the disc. Absolutely. And then
- we'll quality control it after we're done and listen to it and see how it sounds. And yeah, that's what
- we're going to do. So thanks for having me on. I appreciate it. Big fan. After we found out who you
- were, we researched and saw all of your shows. Not all of them, because you have so many of them.
- We watched a bunch, and then my wife thought, Angelia thought that she would like to dance on your show.
- Yes, and that was great, perfect timing, Jeff. She's a big fan of yours, too. And she is, and that's
- why she had been on my guest on my show our last five episodes. That's right, yeah, yeah. And actually,
- she's looking for more people to be on your show, more people that like to dance. Yes. So she's going
- to help you out there. So she'll probably get to help me out, too.
- And you know, Mr. Jack Kilby. So tell us about the more about record owner as an owner. Okay. So, um,
- well we started this, this business here in this location at two, two, two West second street last,
- it's been about a year. So, so at the beginning of, of December of last year, my partner, Eric Hunt
- and I combined all of our equipment together and um,
- Decided we want to offer high quality records to people we thought Bloomington would be a good city
- to be in Since there's a lot of creative people here And and also if you just want to buy a record we
- just have records for sale And we we work a lot with people in the hip-hop community and we work with
- people songwriters such as yourselves We work with
- DJs and and then and then we find artists that we like and we have our own record label where we put
- out some artists that we like and We're just vinyl enthusiasts. So we're just trying to keep records
- alive and People seem to enjoy them. So we want to make sure they can enjoy it to the fullest right?
- That's right
- So Mr. Jack Kilby, I really enjoy your business and your service here making records. You said December
- 2016 or 17? 17, yep. 2017, almost a year. Yep. Now before that, I've been cutting records since I got
- my first record cutter in 2000. That's the year 2000, I don't know which month it was.
- 2018 years. Yeah, 18 years. And then through trial and error, it's sort of a difficult process. And
- now there's more information, but at the time there wasn't much information. A lot of trial and error
- and a lot of money spent on parts and equipment and upgrades. So we think we have a pretty good system
- here now where we can plug and play and
- don't have to waste too much time setting up, so we can, we're pretty efficient now, so, yeah.
- Now it is. Yeah, now it is. Took a long time. So, yeah, I know. So, records, these records, been those
- record players since, it's been 87 years. What, 87 years for what?
- record player cutters. Oh, yeah, you're right, because the ones, the three that you're sitting there,
- those came out in the 40s. So would that be? 40s in the 70s. 70 years. 70 years, yes. These came out
- in the 40s. And these came out in the 40s as well. A lot of these amplifiers are from the 1940s. And
- the one we're going to use today is from the 80s. 80s. 30-some years. Yep.
- And luckily there's still people that cut records today. Yeah, there's a lot. I'm not the only person
- who does this. No. There's a person who started it. It's from New Zealand. His name's Peter King, and
- he's the granddaddy of lathe cut records. Right. And so he did it first, that I know of. And other people
- have come along and done it.
- And they document all their work on a website called lathtrolls.com. So if you're interested, you can
- see the experiments and successes from other people at lathtrolls.com. I don't know, some people are
- into that kind of thing, they want to know more about records. And yeah, I don't want to act like I
- invented it or anything because it's, I'm just an enthusiast, so.
- That's what we do, yeah. Yes, absolutely. So anyhow. So anyhow, we got one of your songs. We got your
- song pulled up here. And are we going to show the folks the process? Is that the plan? Yes. OK. However,
- after the commercial break, however. OK. So however, at this time. So we will have a commercial break
- in just a minute. Well, let's tell the people about the project you and I are working on. So we're putting
- together a
- a three album record set. Yes. That's correct, right? Right. It's the Summer Nights material.
- That's right. It's going to be the first Slenderman Beasley LP. LP. It's going to be brought out to
- be coming in stores in 2019. Yep, that's right. And we got your labels. I'll show you those labels in
- a little bit. Oh yeah.
- That would be great on the show. Yeah. And, um, so I'm really excited to, we're going to cut one for
- you and we're going to cut another one just to have here. So if you sell yours real fast, then there'll
- be another one waiting to go. Okay. And then, um, we'll have, we printed a bunch of extra stickers.
- So if, if they ended up, if you ended up getting some interest, we can make them really quick and we
- don't have to wait on stickers. Absolutely. Absolutely.
- I know you have a lot of fans out there who would probably like an original Lennon Beasley, extremely
- limited edition record set. And not only that, we did a 7-inch where you came down and visited me at
- the 97.7 Festival. Yes. And we cut one right there in the rain. Yes, it was.
- And, uh, that was fun. We listened to it. It sounded really good. That was a seven inch, but today we're
- going to do just one seven inch off of the, uh, off the summer nights be super limited edition. Probably
- just be yours to play for people. And, um, yeah, yeah. Right. That'd be great. So we're going to continue
- in just a few minutes, but right now we're going to take a break. So stay with us and we'll be right back.
- episode right now. We're here in this episode, Fono Craft Record Manufacturing. I'm still here with
- Jack Kilby, the owner of Fono Craft Record Manufacturing here in Bloomington, Indiana. So are you really
- excited about cutting radishes? Oh yes, I sure am. So today we're going to do a 7 inch. Here's the blank.
- Right. If you notice there's
- There's two holes in a lathe cut record. That's so we can put a pin in that second hole so the record
- doesn't slip. And so we're going to place this on the platter here. Here's my pin. I'm going to put
- the pin in there. Now it's locked in place. Now I'm running it at a fast RPM because I'm going to put
- on some turtle wax. This is the first step. The turtle wax helps polish the surface a little bit and
- remove the static and helps the cutting come right off of the record. So we put that on there. This
- is what we do on every one, every time. It doesn't kind of wipe it off. Alright. Okay, now we're going to
- Taking place the cut screw on top of the record. Like so. And then we're gonna line it up. See where
- we're at. I gotta adjust the depth a little bit on this one.
- Okay, so we're in range, so it's locked down and ready to cut. What I'll do is now I'm going to adjust
- the depth of the groove. And this little piece of plastic comes out about the size of a hair. And this
- brush just helps collect it so it doesn't get in our way.
- song. Okay. We also have it played through the stereo so we can hear it. But what you're hearing right
- now is being put right onto the record. The vibrations are being etched into the surface of this plastic.
- Alright, why don't you tell me a little bit about the song.
- Well, Soak Up the Sun, it's not a Sheryl Crow song, it's my originals. So, the yellow sun is bright.
- So, in Gonna Soak Up the Sun, I'll be sweating all day long, sleeping all day long in the beach, or
- getting in the water. Yeah, okay, okay. So, it's a good summer classic then, huh? Yeah.
- the fun parts about summer, which is why I like the whole record is summer-themed. All of your songs
- have something to do with the summertime, don't they, on this record? Right. Did you have a good summer?
- Yes. Yeah, me too. Now it's over. Yeah, it is. It's cold. Well, not freezing cold, but the leaves are
- coming off the trees now. I know. So you can see on there, I don't know if the camera can see,
- So we got the swarf, that's what the cutting is called. The swarf's coming off nicely. Yeah, so we like
- to have you cut again or have the camera get into closer. Closer, okay, we can do that. So we'll have
- to do it in just after this cut here. Yeah, yeah. Well, if you want, you could
- stop it now and bring it in because we still got a couple minutes to go and you can see the ending of
- it. I like to do the whole thing really. So I really rather do the whole thing anyhow. So I'll have
- you do the settings. You're gonna put another seven inches, is that right? Yeah, we'll see. Hopefully
- we have another one. I think I do. We'll run a little on supplies but I'll get you one.
- Right. Now before we cut the song, we have to do some pre-production work to the actual music. We have
- to change the EQ so that it will be compatible with the playback EQ on your turntables preamp. So what
- we're hearing is not the way it will sound when we actually play it back.
- We boosted the highs and we cut the bass really low. So it kind of sounds like an AM radio or something.
- Is that the end? It is the end. Okay, we'll put the finish groove on here. One, two, three, four. Alright.
- We'll take this off and we'll go listen to it right now. Right. Product. Put it on the record player.
- Start it right here.
- What do you think? How does it sound to you? It really sounds great for a record. It's a good quality
- sound quality. It's great. Now we do, we tested, this right here is your standard high quality turntable.
- Right. But not everybody has a good quality turntable. No. And so if I was to make this and somebody
- played it on a cheaper turntable, it might not sound as good or it might not track. So that's why we
- have this turntable up here.
- This allows us to, this is not a high quality turntable, but it allows us to listen to it and to make
- sure that it will track on any turntable, on any record player. What we're hearing is just, there's
- a speaker inside here and that's the only, that's where the sound comes from, so it's not as good as
- It tracks pretty well. Well, I hear it slipping a little bit, but that's because I don't have the center
- thing on there. That keeps it from slipping. That's not a good sound quality. No, it's not. And that's
- why we tested on both. Because this one, there's the speaker.
- It's like a tiny speaker about this big. But we make sure that it works well on this turntable and on
- the high-quality turntable. Of course, it's going to sound better on the high-quality turntable. Yeah.
- All right. So I hope you have another one if you have one. Yeah, we'll look here. I'll find another
- one, and we'll do a close-up of the cutting process. Yes, we do. OK. I believe we got it.
- I'm going to do all the steps. Okay, thank you. So now is there, that's a whole lot better.
- What do you think? Oh yeah, you can really see that now. Good. Now we got to see it. I just zoom out.
- Okay. All right. Tell me, is it recording now? It is now. Okay. Five, four, three, two, one.
- All right, so the first step here is to take off the protective coat that is on the record blank. And
- it's very staticky as you can see. And that's why we use the turtle wax to help reduce the static. Static
- is not our friend in this case. So now I'm going to apply the wax
- going to place the lead screw assembly over the record and attach the flange to the turntable with that
- set pin. I'm going to get lined up. So how about the high quality, so high volume? Well yeah, so we
- have the volume preset
- we get too loud it will distort and if it's not loud enough it'll be too quiet but that's why we listen
- to it as we cut it so we can compare what's being cut with what's being played back right so so right
- now here let me do a little test so yeah okay so that's that's working like I always got to test it
- however I go to
- That's pretty much it, right? Yeah, yep, that's it. Okay. So I'm gonna start the platter at 33 and a
- third revolutions per minute. I'm gonna get my brush in line. And now I'm gonna engage the lead screw.
- And I'm gonna start cutting here.
- down the depth a little bit. I can see it coming off there nicely. Then we'll start the record. You
- can see the cutting is about the width of a fine human hair. It's very thin.
- flammable too. It could catch on fire. We don't want that. Now I told you about the age of the lathe
- that we use from the 40s. The cutting head is from the 60s. That cutting head would have been used in
- the BBC studios. It's mono. We're not cutting in stereo. It's mono.
- But for what we're doing, mono works really well. It's very stable. But when you play it back on a stereo
- cartridge, you'll hear it out of both speakers. It's not that it just comes out of one speaker because
- it's mono. You hear it out of both speakers. There's just no stereo field of sound.
- You play piano too, is that you play piano as well?
- I know I asked you this before, what do you classify your music as, Lenin? Classify music. Yeah, like
- what do you call this style, this genre of music? You told me, I can't remember what you called it.
- Rock and, rock and roll. Rock and roll. I thought when I asked you before you said you call it town
- rock, or something like that. I believe it's Bloomington rock. Bloomington rock, okay. It still is.
- It's definitely rock and roll. It's got the driving beat.
- I'm gonna go turn off the amp over here and we'll be able to barely hear the song coming out of there.
- Just to show. You can just barely hear it coming out of here. That's what it sounds like when it comes
- out of the head. Now that was the end of the song. I used the crank to produce a lead out groove and
- then we put a lock groove at the end. And now we can listen to it.
- We already cut records here. Yeah, we cut them listen to them. They sound pretty good. We got two of
- them and I wanted to say how how I believe that You doing all your music in your shows is very inspirational
- to musicians and producers because of the the amount of
- output you have. I know people that have been playing music for years that have nowhere near the amount
- of songs written and they talk about writing songs and they talk about getting gigs, but you sir do
- a lot and it's very, very impressive. I'm very impressed. And not to mention that just the style of
- your music, it reminds me of a cross between Screamin' Jay Hawkins and
- and the late great Wesley Willis, two artists that I really like, and to me I think you sort of encapsulate
- their sound, and yeah, it's very enjoyable, and lots of people that, I know a lot of people that enjoy
- it too, some people I work with at work, and actually some people that Angela works with at work are
- familiar with your,
- your output and the things that you do. It's very good. So I'm so glad to have you come down here and
- visit with us and let your audience know what we're doing. And it's sort of part of your, you know,
- we're cutting your music. So it's, it all makes sense. Yes. So, um, I'm glad I'm here today. So, um,
- I'm glad I'm here. So you have record stickers. Oh yeah, so these are the stickers for your triple album
- that's coming out. Right. Which one? Is that Summer Nights? Yeah, Summer Nights. And we got the track
- list. It's going to be a triple gatefold. It's a pretty impressive endeavor.
- We'll have one for you and one for the record store that you're going to put in it where you put it
- at TD's you said? Yes. That's a great store here in Bloomington. And then we'll have one on our shelf
- here in case you sell out you'll have another one ready to go or if someone comes in and asks for it
- we'll have it for them.
- You know, I don't get paid with that one. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. That's correct. And then I was going to suggest
- that you do a London Beasley picture disc. This is a, this is not a London Beasley picture disc. This
- is the last picture disc we did for, for a customer. But, um, I don't know. I think it would be a good
- collectible. Can you imagine having your face right here? Smiling, maybe you wearing the boots.
- That's a pretty striking image. There's so many good images you can put on here, and it would look really
- good on the shelf at the record store. That's a good product, I think. But you have so much stuff going
- on right now. Maybe we'll wait till 2019 before we discuss further projects. We gotta catch up on everything
- that you got in the can right now. Right. So we do. So you wanna give out a shout?
- to White Rabbit. Oh yeah, White Rabbit is the printer that we work with. They did this image on this
- picture disc and they did your labels on some very high quality glossy paper. They're very good to work
- with. They're very reasonably priced and I will never go to Kinko's again. White Rabbit is the printing
- company for me. So I wanted to
- That's great. White Rabbit is a really good quality, right? Very good quality and local. I like to give
- my business to local artists and merchants and craftsmen. The only thing that is not local is the blanks
- come from Paris. Or not Paris, France. Somewhere in France. It's not Paris though. So they come from
- France. If there was someone in Bloomington making them, I'd get them here in Bloomington. But that's
- the only thing that is not from Bloomington.
- Right, right, right. So the quality of the sounds of the record, and we got a little record player,
- a tiny record player, and it's a very little speaker. Yeah, very little speaker. It doesn't sound very
- good. And the needle is, I would say subpar. But if that record player plays your record, any record
- player will play your record.
- That's how we do our quality control here, we make sure that it's playable on any device. See, there's
- a lot of people out there that cut records, I'm not the only person, and some people use different techniques
- to cut their record, and sometimes the records don't work like they should or they don't sound like
- they should. It kind of gives other people that cut records a bad name, you know, because they associate
- all lathe cuts with
- with that one style of cutting. But ours are guaranteed to track for the needle to stay in the groove
- all the way through and to not have distortion and to not have any surface noise. We go for a high quality
- mono playback. We're going to go to stereo in the future. It's just a little more of a process.
- We hope to be able to do that maybe by next year, be able to do stereo. A lot of people ask for it.
- But right now mono works pretty well and yeah, that's what we're doing. So it's mono now? Mono, yes.
- It'll come out of both of your speakers on your stereo, but it will not have a stereo field where there's
- a difference in between the two speakers that make
- a third sound. They just come out here. It's sort of like the old Beatles records were all in mono and
- actually you can get a lot louder with mono. Mono has its pluses. People want stereo though because
- a lot of people produce in stereo. I noticed your material is produced in stereo. We convert it when
- we do our pre
- Production work we convert it to a mono signal so everything comes out in the end. Stereo won't sound
- as good. Well stereo will sound as good, but it won't be as loud Won't be as loud won't be as loud some
- people like a very loud signal a lot because we work with DJs DJ wants a loud signal to come out of
- the record But actually if we get too loud the needle will actually jump out of the record
- We don't want that we don't want to be too loud But stereo does have the stereo field so you'll have
- you'll be able to hear Snares and bass drums and guitars and different reference frames when you're
- listening to it, right? So Anyhow, oh Yeah, will you tell us about?
- How many minutes per side of a record? Oh yeah, so on a 12 inch record, your standard LP, which I have
- one right here, this one works, that's what I'm not using. So we can get 12 minutes per side on a 12
- inch record. We can get about, I don't know, about nine minutes per side on a 10 inch record. Of course
- we've got five minutes on a seven inch.
- have a five inch record you get about a minute 33 seconds in these these are pretty good collectible
- records I have a collection of just five inch records I seek them out and plus they're a little more
- inexpensive because they're smaller so we have we have all prices to meet anybody's budget
- With all these records, we're able to do grooves on both sides of the record except for the picture
- disc. The picture disc only has one side because the other side has to have the picture attached to
- it. But yeah, that's what we are offering. We also cut on picnic plates. Here's an example of a picnic
- plate. Solo brand picnic plates.
- There's a hole in there, and right here are what they look like when we cut them out. So we're able
- to get colors, different colors, but the sound quality is pretty rough on these. Sort of sounds like
- a 78 record, an old 78 record. It works well for some like
- like heavy rock and roll or punk rock or a noise band, sounds pretty good on those. So if price is your
- concern, we can put it on a lower quality material and it'll cost less, it won't sound as good, but
- we like to be able to offer lots of different options to people so that they can get exactly what they
- want and be happy with what they get. Okay, that sounds good. So 12 minutes per side.
- And a 12 inch. Yes. Yep, for now. We do have another lay that we'll be able to get hopefully 22 minutes
- per side, but we don't have that set up here yet. My partner has that set up in Pennsylvania and he's
- gonna be bringing that here. And hopefully we'll be able to offer that soon. You know, more time is
- better. You know, the more time you get on the record, the better. So eventually we'll have summer nights
- putting in one record, so. Well, that'd be nice, yeah. 22 minutes, so. Yeah. Hopefully. Hopefully. There's
- a lot of setup. When I say setup, it's not we just get it and set it up and play. We got to fine tune
- it. It takes a long time. Everything takes a long time, as you know. Yeah. Yeah. So we're also, when
- the 12-inch comes back, it comes here,
- 12 inch comes here. How many did you order? We'll have 100 blanks. We'll have 112 inches and we'll probably
- get 107 inches. We're already stocked up on 10. If you wanted a 10 inch right now we could do 10 inches
- all day long it looks like.
- Our number one sellers are seven inches and our number two sellers are 12 inches. So we'll just stock
- up on both of those one. Uh, Oh, probably here in the next couple of weeks or so. Yup. So when you get
- a hundred, uh, comes in, order another hundreds. Yeah. Yeah. Right. We'll need them. Cause we go through
- pretty quickly. Cause we're going to need, um, uh, please order another a hundred, um, uh, blanks when
- that comes in. However, um,
- I just wanna remind you, Mr. Jack Kilby, so we're gonna, I'll be coming back here, I'll do another session
- of the record records. However, we're gonna do a 12 inch. Yeah, yeah, we'll do the 12 inch next time.
- 12 inch next time, so it'll be all day, so. Now do you have a record player at your house? I think so.
- Good, well you can take those two with you then, and you can listen to them and plan for people.
- Maybe take them to the record store and have them have them play it over their system Right now remember
- that they're one sided. So on the other side is a different song Yeah, the other one's different. The
- other was a different song because it was a mistake Okay, so and it's marked the side that is not marked
- is your side. Yes Just just so you know, right, right so anyway
- I'm probably so you know you if I don't see Angelina here Probably Gonna text me and yeah have her have
- her come tomorrow. Yeah, I'll have her come tomorrow to the
- to your library. And from two to four. So if we do have an opening from four to five or six, we'll love
- to have her on the show a little longer. Of course, called Text You Too. Yeah, yeah, definitely. So
- about the Lenin Beastie Show project. When are you going to air these shows? We are way behind.
- Season four even and the first half of season five. So I see you shoot them all ahead of time ahead
- of a time ahead of times so Here's the linobeze work. So from season four of August 31st 2017 We went
- ahead and do linobeze show put them in
- So that way I'll upload it in YouTube. Apparently, two episodes at a time. So that's why we have the
- Lena Beasley YouTube channel. So that's why. And then the community access television in November 2017,
- in late December, no, I'm sorry, 2017 in December, computer crashed.
- because of the unexpected crash of iMovie project quit. And then the whole thing got to start all over
- again. And then in February or April 2018, the whole thing, CATS already updated iMovie and Premier.
- It's been, uh, off and on, uh, off and on computer. We're having, they're having computer problems right
- now in cats. So, um, it's been really hectic. So this year, so we're, uh, at least, um, I got the raw
- video from 2017, all raw videos in 2017 and 18 did not go away on my other drive. And I just put a backup
