Yeah so this fire at Apollo might seriously injure VMP. idk how they are supposed to crank out records of the month when the only place on Earth cutting laquers is in Japan and not taking new clients

This is very true. But from what I understand they can go DMM but it's gunna screw up AAA classics for sure.

Yeah DMM is going to be a cancel for me, boss

Would another option be to reuse existing lacquers? This obviously won't work for new releases, and it's likely to screw up Classics as not all may be AAA. I'm also not sure of the lifetime of a lacquer (anyone familiar know how many records can be pressed from one, if there is such a limit)

The lacquers are used to make the stampers. The stampers are used to press the records and have some finite number of presses. I believe lacquers have a use limit but i think it is far more about shelf life.

ARGH...I want to wait for my copy to arrive before I listen but you are making it so tempting to fire up Spotify

Go for it. You'r only cheating yourself.

They gotta double dip and get your revenue any way they can.

But from what I am to understand from their packaging, Fat Possum is "Trying Their Best."

TRY F*CKING HARDER

VMP gets their lacquers from the Japanese company, according to Storf.
