A new vinyl manufacturing facility is due to open in Sydney.
According to Tone Deaf, the the Marrickville plant is able to manufacture three million records a year. The plant spokespeople claim it will offer the additional services of the vinyl manufacturing process, including “full analogue mastering, a Neumann disc cutting system, stamper making facility, fully automated record presses, and a manual press for specialty records such as picture discs, split and splatter colours.”
Vincent Chen, manager of the factory has stated that “there will be no further need to manufacture product overseas and pay for air freight or endure long turnaround times.”
