almost all the pressing plants ive used over the years have made mistakes, even the good ones, also printers make mistakes, jeez theres a lot of incompitence in the record industry,patrick bateman wrote:We used MPO from 2004 and then the first 5 releases for Tic Tac Toe, and for each and everyone of those release they made mistakes. Dropped the master on the floor so a new one had to be made, misprinted something on the sleeve, did a bad print of the b side and so on and so on.Roual wrote:
i've worked in the industry for 12 years of which i spent nearly 4 years with MPO.
I'm not a massive fan of the company but their vinyl is of a particular high quality.
the smaller plants don't get anywhere near the three plants i mentioned for quality.
they've had problems since last year because a supplier of a chemical used for producing their metalwork went bust and the new chemical isn't as good
this has caused quite a few headaches, including mine.
when it comes to vinyl selecting a company that produces on quality should always be preferred to a cheaper option, hence why in my experience those three are the best
Of course, this didn't cost us anything, it was their mistakes, but it costed us a lot of time, which was super annoying.
That was why we turned to someone else.
my last release had to be cut three times, two lots of metalwork made because of mistakes, record sleeves from the printers arrived damaged in battered boxes, and i had to claim compensation, then just if that wasnt enough, the courier lost a whole box of 100 records out of the shipment on its way to Kompakt in germany,
the release was nearly 6 months late coming out
it made me decide to have a break for a year.
