Gotta Groove Records

The Artist's Preferred Pressing Plant.

Customer Highlight: The Deathers & Freedom

GG pressed the Deathers/Freedom split 12″ record in time for the Now That’s Class Convention in Cleveland– this was actually the first official Gotta Groove pressing!  Now, we certainly don’t like to brag, but this customer had some comments to share about our work that we’d like to share (being our first pressing and all):

“The records sound really good.  Full, deep, very little surface noise.  Wonderful!”  — Paul from The Deathers

The Deathers and Freedom can be experienced live at various venues in Cleveland and beyond!   (Upcoming shows:  the Deathers play the Grog Shop in Cleveland on Nov 29 with Melt Banana, and Freedom play Oct 17 at the Grog Shop with HotChaCha, Founding Fathers, and Uno Lady).

Wikiphonia: A headphone wiki

Great site that I had never heard about.  I like my Sennheiser HD-280’s.  And will probably buy myself a new pair of Grado’s sometime soon.

The only thing that could make this article better is if it were written the “other” Steve Guttenberg.
