Needles & Grooves

David Rawlings is a pretty impressive get considering his and Gillian’s records are some of the best sounding lps I ownnnn

I am cautiously watching.

@girlnevergoesout and they poached the head of QRP to head up the VMP plant too. They are making all the right moves so far. We'll see how it ends up but it's always a good thing to have more pressing plants

I wonder if the Rawlings factor means VMP will be doing a Gillian album on the horizon.

(Or if she and Rawlings are some of the "partners" they will be pressing for)

@avecigrec somebody asked if this means VMP will press Time (The Revelator) on Reddit and Pauly said the relationship certainly couldn’t hurt the possibility.

For the sake of it being pressed on vinyl I would love to see that happen, but I also don't want to have to sign back up to get a copy!

I'm sure those parentheses around 'audiophile-grade' mean nothing at all.

Article says VMP has ~80k customers as of last year?! The last time I paid attention a couple of years ago, estimates were still at around ~35k subscriptions (not individual customers). Pretty explosive growth.
