Tom - I do not know of a single, comprehensive list available online. But after a few posts from a few different folks on the list here, I bet we will be able to compile a good one. To throw in my two cents, I know of a couple that are currently operating and even have active web pages. United Record Pressing in Nashville, (which may be the one in Tennessee you were referring to): http://www.urpressing.com/ And GZ Vinyl in Prague: http://www.gzdm.cz/en/vinyl/ My last two records got pressed at GZ, and I have a friend of a friend who works at United, so in addition to the web evidence I know for a fact that they are both active. So that's a start, anyway... -JS -----Original Message----- From: Association for Recorded Sound Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Tom Fine Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 8:30 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [ARSCLIST] Current LP pressing plants in operation Is there a reliable list anywhere of currently-producing LP plants around the world. Off-hand I know RTI in California, the one down in Tennessee, at least one in Germany, at least one in the UK and I think one or more in Japan. Details, exact locations, etc would be good. If there isn't a reliable list anywhere, perhaps we can brainstorm one together here and maybe the ARSC website could host it? Web-board rumors would not be welcome. First-hand knowledge of the plant's location and the fact that it is currently operating would be best. I am sure about RTI in California. I mentioned the plants in Germany and England because they were shown in operation in Mike Fremer's recent DVD "It's a Vinyl World After All." I believe the sequences in the DVD were shot in 2008. The plant in Tennessee was mentioned in a recent newspaper article (2nd half 2008) that was linked on this list, I think. -- Tom Fine
