I know this was referenced here not too long ago, but the search isn’t working well; moreover, I forget what to search upon. Thanks for tolerating my currently-degraded memory.
I’m trying to think of that disco song that was recorded as part of a non-stop live and direct-to-lathe session; as a result, it’s an audiophile hit. Which is it?
I’d be glad to help you…having an extensive library for the autophile and a soft spot for the disco era, but…what the heck are you asking??? In simple English, what does “non-stop live and direct-to-lathe” mean? I take it this has nothing to do with a woodshop?
…Oh, I love the nightlife; gotta boogie…
If I may… “non-stop live” would mean a recording of an actual performance as opposed to a series of overdubs, and “direct-to-lathe” means directly to the record cutting machine, usually making an “acetate” in the process as the more common vinyl is generally pressed or stamped, not cut with a lathe.
So, taken together, it’s a one-shot recording of a studio performance that went straight-to disc, and presumably from there to a duplication plant.
Resurrecting is allowed now, yes? I thought I’d take avantage of that, since I finally found the answer to my own question.

Sounds like Rio by 1920’s deathray.
I know, it’s not really funny anymore

Agreed.
AND that was the only direct-to-lathe recording ever done in the Marianas Trench.
As soon as I posted, I knew that was coming
So, you knew what would ensue?
Um, whoops.
Say, anyone know how long they’d have to play to fill up one side of an LP…?
20 Minutes ? 
Let’s ask Opal.
I, for one, welcome the new direct to lathe overloads.
All your lathe are belong to us.
Just once. In 1960.
