Terrific presentation. Takes me back to the Capitol Records factory where I was one of the overnight mechanics for my line of 14 presses - (yes, 14 all running simultaneously) at their giant plant in Winchester, VA. Oh, for the good old days of compound, biscuits, tailings and hearing (in the Quality Control Room) the absolute first release of Dire Straits Sultan come off my press. NO ONE has heard them yet, and it blew me away. I took the record off the first press, first stampers, as I did with a couple others. I am a collector too.
I might have been running John Renbourn, the Beatles and Frank Sinatra all at once on my one line. We were crankin' them out! Loved that work, even though this helps me remember how bloody HARD it was!
Amazing! Thanks for sharing
It is a lovely feeling to communicate with someone who has actually BEEN on the production line of these LP records that I enjoyed in the late 80s. I can only say ...
THANK YOU GEORGE.
Omg, what amazing experience !!
It's garbage especially the friggin noise at the beginning. Who the hell would ever make a master from an acetate coated aluminum disc? Wax is the best. This is second rate to cut down on costs so they don't have to pay for things like gold and vacuum deposition and many stages of electroplating. That is the right way to make a record. It's why old records from the 50 and 60s sound better than any modern record.
Yes, thank you for sharing. Do you know how the stamper discs are made. They are incredible
This is such a crazy process. Another reason to love vinyl even more.
This is pretty much exactly how you make CD's. Only difference is you use clear plastic and add a thin layer of aluminium on the bumpy side and then a layer of lacquer to protect the aluminium. Or DVD where you basically glue two CD's together and use a semi translucent film of silver for the bottom "CD"
I do remember the stamping being way faster when I worked in a CD and DVD factory. That took something like 5-10 seconds and to didn't have to cool the material.
I've heard LP's use vinyl plastic because of its elastic properties which you wouldn't need in a CD due to reading it from a distance with a laser.
Whatever these guys charges... it's COMPLETELY WORTH every penny!
I've gained a whole new respect for vinyl after seeing this.
I love vinyl, taking it out of the sleeve, placing it on the platter, pressing play on the system, watching arm lift up, move, and down into the Grove
fascinating
it is a massive operation
For an artist/duo/trio/group(four or more members) to sell enough copies to earn a Gold Record, that really meant something! It wouldn't be the same earning a gold CD for high sales of an album. But while a pressing plant is out of the question for a hobby record maker, I've seen UA-cam videos of people cutting their own discs! Just wish the gear wasn't so damned expensive!
Oh, look! It's another great feature by Telekom. I love the school television vo in this.
wow had no idea it was such a complex process!
:) Good to see our vinyl!
Hey Peter how’s things ?
Great and inspirational documentary, increases the unchanged love of vinyl for artists, producers and music lovers even more. Thanks a lot for that.

Well that was a great process to observe. Would love to have a visit at this facility. I have worked in manufacturing for a very long time and never knew our the Mother and Child plates were made.
I could spend day’s watching the entire process in person
this is why i love Vinyl. awesome sound. great video. i have vinyl from 80s /90s awesome condition. still play today. all my my deep house, techno, trance ALL from UK.
Wow....just.... wow... precision at its finest
How it should be.
Comparing this to a video I saw from the early 20th century, the process has changed little. While the methods have been updated, it's amazing to see how similar they are.
I LOVE VINYL
I love my records! They are not cheap, but here's why! Thank you for this video.
That backing track is LIT
Imagine working there and you hear a song and be like damn that's a banger. Lol new Vinyl collector here. I didn't know so much dedication takes place when doing this.
….i work in a factory pressing records by around 10 years….. loved…
How a vinyl record is made. #vinyl
minus the petrochemicals industry connection, and the environmental damage associated with the production of polyvinyl chloride... record vinyl = petro-capitalism
@@phishu106
Well have you been to China to observe any of the manufacturing facilities.
Talk about a ecological nightmare. Oh but nevertheless this facility in Germany I can say has a much higher standard of control’s on the impact with environmental concerns
My favorite part was when he took a little break while waiting on the timer for the degreasing wash. He is well versed in his craft, impressive
This is why is expensive to keep into vinyl....but its lovelly analog feel
From the factory straight to the techno Warehouse, Circle of Life
I became a vinyl record fan after learning how complicated the process to produce a vinyl record is
That's a stupid reason.
You would think after all those layers of plating the grooves wouldn’t produce any sound much less be able to stamp it into hot vinyl!!👍👍👍
Amazing and complex process and great documentary
Foil cutting process would also be interesting
You're not manufacturing vinyl. You're manufacturing RECORDS.
Love this.
whats the name/artist of the track playing at the start and throughout?
I'm dying to know as well.
this is what is needed ! manual jobs, precision , job satisfaction !
if you just copy MP3 file to memory device - it is boring !
technology evolution is not always good or satisfying :)
cant all afford vinyl mate. not exactly accessible. add on a decent record player, amp, speakers - not a poor mans hobby
Ok, bring all your HiFi setup while you're on the bus since it's so convenient 💀
vinil never dies
Imagine the amount of work to press all the millions of records sold from all artists.
Great documentary, beautifully complex. Unless mistaken, no one has yet given details of the track that runs so often in this programme. I assumed it had something to do with the pressing of a Dirt Crew Recording material but I still have not found which! Anyone would know what it is? Thanks
Ther music and editing is like an Alan Partridge spoof.
This is also an introduction of how vinyl pressings can possibly go wrong. Explains why there are also so many poor pressings in the market.
And that my friends, Is how you bake a disco biscuit! :-)
Woow! And now I understand why it’s so expensive atm to get our records made…
Sounds great!!
Delicious vinyl cake.
a BIG like !!
Nice video, thanks, but cutting lathe direct from CD?😮
To make the master is more complex than I thought.
Rinse, rinse, rinse, and repeat:)
These devices put my used messiner 9-1065 to shame.. thought mine is a home model, not from the factory, so quality might be lower though,, but still good.
Now I'm kinda proud that couple of my records was released on vinyl... Interesting how The plumbuses are made?
This is pretty much exactly how you make CD's. Only difference is you use clear plastic and add a thin layer of aluminium on the bumpy side and then a layer of lacquer on top. Or DVD where you basically glue two CD's together and use a semi translucent film of silver for the bottom "CD"
track id?
and this is why Vinyl is so much better then Cds or MP3s
Except that it's so much more environmentally damaging to produce. Besides that yes, it gives the music much more value.
@@dercrispmeister How so?
I cracked up hard at 3:28 when he said "wetted" had too do a double take too check what I had heard.
Why?
can anyone explain to me why some vinyl have 3 or for punch holes ?
Fascinating & vinyl worth paying for it 👏👏💽💽💽
First track? :)
track ID?
"the first negative is then prepared as mold"
A guy comes in, checks just how bendy it is and then slides it into a paper sleeve? this plant probably makes some quality records
Who figured this process out?
how do you feel an mp3 :P
Am I the only one who thinks those freshly pressed discs looked warped?
Hot off the press. Takes some time to cure and settle maybe.
Jemand kennt das Track am Anfang?
As we junglists shout: Rinse it proppa!
Can anyone ID the track @ 3:07 ?
RhUV0 This is Marvin Dash - MD- out to lunch !’
You’re welcome mate! By the way it’s available to buy on Juno records
12:56 Das
Can anyone ID the track at 12:58?
Have you found out the track id ? =)

So called...
The music! wtf!
thats why vinyls are way more expensive than cds..
Actually the CD manufacturing process involves galvanics as well, it is very similar. Ultimately you end up with a metal stamper which is used to press the digital information into the polycarbonate.

This is different from how America makes it
The music is so annoying
The background music is funny. It's like techno-pop for porn videos. LOL!

Nice video. But you speak too fast and the british accent does not help. Hint: write the chemical terms in the video. Otherwise, nice job.
