Goatboy Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Ouch. I can't believe the supply chain is this vulnerable. But I suppose that's a risk in a re-emerging market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H.E. Pennypacker Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Steve Hoffman has a few interesting points in this thread: https://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/vinyl-records-now-in-crisis-apollo-transco-mastering-lacquer-plant-is-a-total-loss.928652/ Many are speculating with no new releases for a few years for some, we might get some very cool represses out of the likes of MoFi etc. Edited February 9, 2020 by furtherpale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
