I Rock Cleveland: Inside Gotta Groove Records — Cleveland’s Vinyl Pressing Plant.

Test Pressing Video Footage

We had an amazing innaguration party this Saturday at the plant, pictures are coming in via email, I’ll be posting some good ones here and on the Facebook page.  Here’s a short video clip of one pressing coming through the press.  Enjoy!

Customer Highlight: Best Coast

Gotta Groove recently finished the 7″ pressing for Best Coast’s “Make You Mine” put out by Group Tightener.  Check Best Coast out at www.myspace.com/bestcoasty, and be sure to stop into your local indie record store to pick up this hot new 7″ for yourself!

Customer Highlight: Drummer

Gotta Groove just finished up pressing the 12″ LP for Drummer’s Feel Good Together.  If you haven’t already picked up a copy of this fantastic new album, be sure to hit them up at www.audioeaglerecords.com to get it!  Great classic-sounding feel-good rock.

On the left is Ben Vehorn, who produced and recorded the album.  On the right is Audio Eagle Studio Manager Jeff France.   The picture was taken at Vehorn's Tangerine Sound in Akron, Ohio.  Audio Eagle also has a smaller studio in the same building.

Wonderful Vinyl Sonic Art

Artist Christian Marclay does some pretty amazing work with found sounds, oftentimes using scratches, pops and warped records in a way that would make most audiophiles cringe.  He really explores the concept of sound and how it influences us.
