Deutsche Grammophon were word renown for excellent recording and mastering. Thank you for the insight.
This film shows the record production in the 1950ies at the factory of Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft in Hanover, Germany. This is the oldest record company and was founded in 1898 by German-born United States citizen Emile Berliner as the German branch of his Berliner Gramophone Company. Berliner sent his nephew Joseph Sanders from America to set up operations in the city of Hanover (the founder's birthplace).
Tulips!
They incorrectly skip a few steps in the process. After the master disc is made from the lacquer it is coated again to form the mold, or "mother". This is the disc that is seen being tested on the turntables. They incorrectly say that this is the mold that presses the record. Actually this disc, after being tested, is coated with metal and the stamper is created from this. The stamper, which is a "negative" and cannot be played, is the disc that actually presses the final record. The mold, or mother, is used to make several stampers, as they eventually wear out after several pressings.
yup, skipping steps results in people believe the negative ("father") can play tested with a turntable, so the movie is fun for pressing plant employees mostly, who know the complete process.
You might wanna watch the video with Mel Blanc and Billy May Entitled:“WANNA BUY A RECORD”? Were they go to the Capital pressing plant in Scranton PA and the missing steps are thoroughly explained and shown in that video

Thanks for the random clip
Glad you liked it.
My Father and I used to use ( NRP , Nashville Record Pressing ) At Our Recording Studio in Illinois, .......🎵❤️🎶
Ortofon Lyrec recording lathe [stereo SV8s] now extremely rare [about 7 known examples exist in the world today 2019]Known as "the audiophile's lathe" on account of the open sound of its audio chain.Sophisticated lathe capable of cutting 1000 grooves to the inch on a good quality lacquer-built in eccentric locked groove mech for 78 rpm disks.This lathe had everything.Neumann VMS 80 caught up with Lyrec 2 decades later.Sculley didn't.
I watched the How It's Made episode for vinyl and I noticed that the process was almost the same.
David, I came here whilst searching for references to Ripple Records and Revolver Records. I was sure that Ripple become Revolver but wanted to confirm.
I thoroughly enjoyed details of your early working life as I shopped at half of the record stores you mentioned (plus many more). I was one of the first (if not the first) customer of Utopia Records but I seem to remember John? as being the guy running it (at some point around 1980 I sold him my DBX-117 and I took payment out in records). Perhaps I misremembered the name or am remembering a later period. It was certainly a great store and I still have a number of treasured Japanese vinyl pressings that I bought there (Wishbone Ash "Live Dates" and The Beatles "Sergeant Pepper" are two that spring to mind.
Thank you for making my day!

My grandfather used to do this in his basement in Michigan, like a micro studio.
What happened to all his equipment and machinery?
@@alanrogs3990 don't know, he died before i was born, i do remember in the early 70's i was around 5 and we drove from LA to Detroit to visit grandma, she had a recording studio in her house, the claim to fame is paul form peter, paul and mary
Paul and his church group cut a disk there.LOL. to bad there weren't any good acts in motown in the 50'/60s he could have signed. By trade he was a tool and die maker and was more focused on the manufacturing of the records
I Would Imagine They Would have to be Very Acuarate Doing that.....
Very good
Looks good
I’ve heard the cutting lathes were noisy. Because the air to push the chips away from the grooves
🙏 👌
22,000 people in the early sixties?
Making vinyl!!! We destroyed the industry with the cd and the downloads
Correct, but there is a concession...vinyl is coming back with a vengeance.
And a higher price compared to the 60s as it’s seen more like an luxury item rather than a storage format that was seen.
@@connectorxp actually, no. The price has always been (almost) the same if you count inflation.
@@RJNiemski and most (not all) of it is digitally sourced these days.
At least she was using gloves when she handled it... unlike half the youtubers who got their hands all over the damn surface =P
😃
Does anyone know how much The Beatles spent to make Sgt Peppers in 1967 or any of their records in the 1960's?
Some say 25,000 UK Pounds, equivalent to 483,000 UK Pounds Today.
So this is how they do it.....
Robots are taking over, the assembly line for people - gone forever.
That probably has made the way for artificial intelligence to take full swing.
I mean, if you look at modern vinyl record pressing it's much the same- a lot of hands in the process.
(3:55)
Does the beginning of this show reveal how a "mother" was made?
Thank you! You were selling records back then? Do you remember if people were buying Elvis records in 67 or did the monkeys’ sell more albums? Do you know who is responsible for putting warning labels on ‘first ‘are you experienced Jimi Hendrix? Were you Mod or a mocker?
Great video. Thanks for uploading. Any idea where it was filmed?
In the UK.
in Hannover Germany
@@DavidLillicot They're clearly speaking German in the background toward the end, David 😜😅
Where is the rest of this documentary? Does the entire footage exist somewhere? I''d like to see the entire film if possible.
+cricketrecords Sorry, there was the Initial Studio recording, but i only posted Making the Vinyl record.
Okay, it just seems that it stops suddenly, probably where they would start talking about the shipping process.

Henry
Who destroyed the industry? in the contrary, now that it is no longer "industry", gives individual free spirits a chance to take control of this craft again...
*******
It's ironic that in the first part of this video and talks about adjusting the volume level because that's what you David need to do with your videos because when I put on this video I blasted the sound
