I had no idea there where this many steps involved in making a record. It's like you would have to be a genius to invent such a process. And they made this before digital? Wow.

Vinyl is the only way to listen to music, mp3 and digital files are all garbage.

Now I can understand why vinyl is quite pricey nowadays. Then again, my local record shop you can pick up new releases on vinyl for £10-20, and a CD in HMV/Amazon would be £8-10. It's definitely worth the extra bit to have a vinyl copy.

I could never understand how there weren't strands of plastic all over the place when the mould is lifted. Brilliant. And so much better to actually PLAY a record instead of just "listening to music" on a cd.

Processes like these are not generally made overnight. I don't know about disks but I reckon it is the same. They generally start with more primitive models, and then evolve based on that. That's how nature works as well =)

wow, if you only had one press, it'd take about a year running all the time to stamp a million records.
