I am cautiously optimistic about this whole thing. I'm sure it may be rocky to start but really hope they can pull it off. It would be awesome for the entire industry.

I agree. This should be seen as a positive step. There will be growing pains, but in the end another pressing plant is welcomed. And it should give Adele yet another option for pressing her next release!

I knew I had read something about Denver and records a few days ago and I found it. Victrola is relocating to the same neighborhood. Maybe one of their partners? They have a vested interest in more records too.

And hopefully the Black Pumas will be able to scare up another couple of variants

while i'm midly surprised it hasn't happened already given their focus on 'experiences', i long figured it was only a matter of time before a vmp branded turntable was put out. perhaps this is the way.

Imagine if that's been the gameplan all along. All of the warps we received have actually been exactly the same and their next level "audiophile" phase is to release a custom platter that's moulded to the warps to create a level record.

Mather has been their test subject. Patient Zero.

One press putting out 40,000 records a month. Given there are roughly 22 working days in a month and 7 working hours in a day that’s 260 records an hour on this one press. Even on shift with it running 24 hours a day that’s 76 a hour which is assuming more than one a minute and no down time between shifts and for breaks.

This is assuming they can actually staff the pressing plant. In this market, does not matter who / where you are, that is a tall order.

Shadow Dancing

'Shadow Dancing' is Azar Lawrence's 1985 album. We have it on Grape Ghostly vinyl.

Hey, remember this thing? Just got an email saying it’ll be shipping in June.

It originally was slated for mid-February. :/

I wonder if this is an exclusive or standard press?

Honestly, I was the same but recently binged the 2 seasons after my fiancee finally convinced me. Its pretty decent and the soundtrack was a standout for me. Reminds me of a high budget, more modern version of Skins which was a teenage/coming of age/drink&drug fueled rampage of a show here in the UK back in the mid-2000s.

Am I miss remembering or were Foals playing in a kitchen at a party in the first season. The first couple of seasons of that, before they changed the cast, were fantastic, after that it all went a bit meh. It must be at least 15 years since it was first out?

Yeah, I seem to remember that as well. I agree, the 2 seasons were good but I completely gave up after the cast change.

Damn, I just checked and it first aired in 2007. Thats depressing.

Yeah I though it was around about when I first moved here because I was still young enough, 24, to kinda relate lol.
