THIRD MAN PRESSING IS NOW OPEN (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

- Опубліковано 23 лют 2017
- Third Man Records is proud to announce the official opening of its state-of-the-art vinyl production facility in the heart of Detroit's historic Cass Corridor neighborhood.. The past year has been spent investing creative energy and passion into crafting a meticulously designed boutique vinyl record production facility with a unique customer experience, providing visual evidence to visitors of vinyl's beauty and importance. Third Man Pressing is an investment in Third Man Records' hometown, a neighborhood within a city both rich with musical history, creating a space that is as inspiring as it is prolific.
As the first label to operate a fleet of brand new, environmentally efficient pressing machinery within a purpose-built manufacturing infrastructure, Third Man Pressing minimizes water waste by using recycled water from the record curing process in the air conditioning system, thus creating the only fully climate-controlled pressing plant work environment in the world. Each pressing station is outfitted with a digital touch screen control for temperature, hydraulic compression, and extruder speed, equaling increased control for the highly trained staff as well as a superior product. The plant was engineered to not only be environmentally sustainable, but also community sensitive with its innovative noise reduction construction techniques.
Third Man Pressing Features:
- Operating eight of the first newly built presses built in 35 years, plus four extruders, and four hydraulic generators - all brand new
- Presses can accommodate 12" LP's or 7" singles according to demand
- Only fully climate-controlled pressing plant work environment in the world
- All new, state-of-the-art pressing machinery and purpose-built manufacturing infrastructure
- Closed-loop, chilled-water system that maximizes water sustainability
- Environment design that inspires passion in record making, resulting in superior products
- Four high-efficiency hydraulic systems isolated in a dedicated, contained room
- Digital touch screen controls for temperature, hydraulic compression, and extrusion speed
- Engineered sound containment for minimal external noise pollution
- Built by audio and studio fabrication experts responsible for some of the most-lauded recording studios in the world
- Capacity estimated at 5000 records per 8 hour shift, with a current cycle time of approximately 45 seconds per record
- Competitive turnaround times

Third Man Pressing brings upwards of 50 new living wage jobs with benefits into Detroit (on top of the 20 jobs already created by the Willy's building Third Man Records location at large), and, in complement with Shinola's recent start of production of high-end turntables, marks the triumphant return of the once-thought-lost record industry to one of the country's great industrial AND musical cities.
The manufacturing facility will not only press vinyl records for Third Man Records' label releases (which will also continue to be produced at Nashville's United Record Pressing), but will also fulfill orders from outside labels. The resurgence in popularity of vinyl records has left many small imprints, "bedroom" labels, and independent artists without the ability to press small runs of records in reasonable amounts of time. Third Man Pressing aims to dedicate a percentage of its capacity each month to pressing records for clients of this ilk, alleviating the bottlenecking of the production caused by major label orders, and bringing more niche, regionally-interesting pressings from inspired individuals onto record shelves worldwide.
The inner workings of Third Man Pressing will be on display during Third Man Records Cass Corridor business hours from the storefront's open-to-the-public viewing platform 7 days a week, with employees always happy to answer questions about the process, and more in-depth tours available in the coming months for those interested. Third Man Records' mission has always centered around bringing the tangible, the unexpected, and the beautiful back into the business, and the team is beyond thrilled to share the facility, its exceptional product, and its significance with the city it calls home.
Can't wait to visit ,coming to Detroit to visit my son and beautiful grandkids,his lovely wife. I'm the highest Jack White fan, I'm so proud imof everything he doies for the city of Detroit! Much luv from San Diego, California
I'm so proud Jack and his associates chose to build the plant in Detroit, or Cass Corridor as we call it.
The cost of that equipment must have been astronomical. Really impressive.
Indeed. An operation like this will be in business for a while before they reach the break-even point after which profit can be realized. That's always the risky part of a business. I wish them the very best and look forward to hearing some amazing music pressed there.
not really around 175k
@@yomommastupid per unit.
Definitely a hefty price. I mean it’s Jack white we’re talking about here though. If a musician had the money it was him, and I’m so glad he did.
Fantastic.
yes, vinyl is here again....
OHELLYEAH. The team behind this project (in all aspects) is pure magic in my eyes. What a way to create jobs and open doors for musicians that are going through the same process of trying to have their music heard but not having a medium, or a team that has been in the same position decades prior, to help them. I'll forever and always support this positive community.
This makes me absolutely proud, young folks making the best of entrepreneurship.
This is beyond awesome! When you think about that theres no new pressing plants and that companies are still using the ones from the 70s-80s, Third Man just produced their own. And there is not even a company who produces them because it's super expensive. This is a major move by Third Man. I tip my hat!
The presses are built and sold by Newbilt Machinery in Germany
Too Cool! Road trip!!
Thirdman Rocks
Detroit's own Willie Wonka factory of music
I'm gonna create rad songs and get my music pressed by 3rd Man

Fabulous, great news, I hope you do really well, keep spinning that vinyl.
Awesome!
awesome stuff yo!
I definitively need to make a trip across the river and check this place out some time soon.
Hey jack, if ya make a fortune and expand, the king records building here in Cincinnati (where I'm shakin' was made and pressed) sits empty with a rich history. Nobody here can get it going again. Could be king records museum, recording studio, pressing plant all over again. I'd work for free, and James brown and Cincinnati would be proud if you!!!
impressive is not a strong enough word. JW has created a lane for himself and TMR that will thrive irregardless of the waves of the record business.
very cool. I hope the sound quality is exquisite.
Jack White is like the Willy Wonka of vinyls.
Eddie Is a cool dude

Anyone else watch the new comedy show Detroiters? At some point, they need to do an episode that involves Third Man or Jack White directly. He's the most Detroit thing since General Motors.
Who's cutting and checking the lacquers ahead of plating and pressing?
According to Discogs, they've had a mix of them done at NRP and RTI
Do you guys have a DMM lathe? Peace.
neat

A great record that needs to be repressed is (Sucker For A Pretty Face) by Rockcandy.

What's the point of investing into something like this? This is like making a plant for VCR tapes. Only edgy teens use vinyl still
You do realize that vinyl never completely went away, no? I'm 48 and never stopped collecting vinyl...so no, it is definitely not just "edgy teens" who are listening to vinyl.
Whats the point pressing vinyls again?
Looks really white in there -- being in Detroit and all. Plus vinyl records are bad for the environment. Bit hypocritical given what is preached.
Get out of here 🥱
