Not just Fab Four sides, but even Soul singles from back in the day, or any other sound disc, can be cloned, one at a time, by you, in your basement or other liquid rubber lab!

The site shows how you can buy tin silicone rubber and make extra copies of your records by putting a good side in a box and then pouring the liquid silicone rubber (exempli gratia, Smooth-Sil® 940) over the record. The next day, you peel off your silicone mold. Then you place the mold upside down and pour liquid urethane rubber (e.g., TASK® 4 ), with black pigment (e.g., SO-Strong® black tint) mixed in, over the silicone rubber mold. After curing, the record plays! No need for steam or hydraulics or boilers or baths!
