For this episode we’re keeping it all in the family, the #vinylcommunity that is! We asked you - pressing plants, record labels and collectors to give us feedback on how all the things are going within your collective vinyl spaces. Do you feel like turn times are getting better? What is the perfect run size for pressing plants? Is PVC still hard to get? And where are all the 7”s? Listen to find out answers to these questions and more. The response was so overwhelming we had to spit this episode into two. We’re starting with the inside perspective pressing plants and labels. Let's dive in!
