Some have asked, so here's a brief video on the making of a new Edison Diamond Disc; 52014 "Yes She Do" and "Hallelujah".
I'm currently working on possibly making the 12" Sample records as well (see the post in Yankee Trader).

The sample record would also be nice, I would be interested in one.

Very interesting video indeed and good example to (hopefully) create a better understanding why double-sided disc molds are too intense for regular issues.
