Manufacturing a Record

I found this video via Stuck In The Past blog. It documents the pressing process of Mouthpieces "Cant Kill Whats Inside". Was never a big Mouthpiece fan but I highlight this because it hits close to home for me since my occupation/career is similar to some parts of this video. I know too much about the Printing & Folding Section as well as the Assembly & packaging section and I'm sure a lot of people are probably really curious as to what goes into pressing a vinyl LP.

I wish they weren't pressing black and there was a little more about how whacky mix and marble colors are made.

Bear Vs. Shark

This is my Bear Vs. Shark "collection". A very short lived band loved by some but not many. Sort of shoved off to the side in obscurity. I personally enjoy them a lot. Put on a really good live show.

Bear Vs. Shark- Terror Hawk- Friction/Equal Vision Records- red/yellow/500
Bear Vs. Shark- Right Now You're In the Best of Hands...- Friction/EVR- green/clear/250
Bear Vs. Shark- Terror Hawk Picture disc- Friction/EVR- 2nd press of 200

This is the back of the 2nd press. Fronts of both presses were the same but the backs were different.

If you feel you missed out, there is a 2nd press available from Friction Records for "right now youre in the best of hands" as well some first and only press copies left of "Terror Hawk". Go greb them while you can!
