The Persistence Of Vinyl

Just by happenstance some interesting pieces on vinyl and record labels have come across my desk in the past few days that seem worthy of a share (and are, clearly, right up my alley):

• Bitter Southerner on United Record Pressing - the Nashville based vinyl record plant is having a huge boom. So much so that they won't even take new customers. They're building out a secondary room and pushing themselves to be able to handle the load (along with every other manufacturer in the country).
• Why Would Anyone Start a Label in 2015? - Great question and a vetted podcast.
• Cascade Record Pressing - brand new plant that opened in Portland with a rather nice, modern, website (a rarity in the world of vinyl manufacturers) and a great headspace about making records.
