I went to the open house of Gotta Groove records yesterday. Here is their website
http://gottagrooverecords.com/our-plant/.
The place is very nicely setup and I got to see some real vinyl being made. The equipment has all been reworked and rebuilt and looks and works very well.
It was GREAT to see all the people that attended the open house and I got a chance to spend some time with my friend Michael Bishop and his wife.
Vince Slusarz has done a fantastic job getting together lots of very knowledgeable people and some good serviceable equipment to start his endeavor and I wish him nothing but success.
The last record making plant in Cleveland was Boddie Records and they folded years ago when vinyl record making was in decline.
What Vince has done has caught a lot of people's imagination and attention. To start up a new vinyl pressing plant in the middle of a recession took a lot of courage and determination
I already have a couple of clients that are thinking about getting some of their releases done on vinyl.
The plant is in a former industrial part of the city that is going though a rebirth and in the same area there is a new brewery and a glass arts shop.
It was an exciting evening and the food and drinks were also GREAT!
