14" masters only in UK?

Once you have cut a master laquer, you have metal stampers created and have records pressed from them. Discuss manufacturing here. (Record Matrix Electroforming- Plating, Vinyl Record Pressing.)

Crikey, I am not looking for someone to press their own dick into a record, I am just wondering who accepts 10s and 12s here in the UK. At least three companies here supply them, so I thought it would be common knowledge.

I am gonna make some enquiries and will report back just in case anyone else here is interested.

Hey Mr
Your question has been answered, besides sufficient explanation has been provided so as you can see why it is done this way at least in the UK
The customer is always right one should get what is wanted
Well that may be the case as well in this instance
So good luck with your efforts
On another point you have raised!
Really there are better materials so as to press records with
A pressed dick would sound awful, its owner would certainly be in lots of pain
Cheers

Speaking of pressing body parts in records, we read here about the company in the UK that willl get your ashes pressed into a record but here's one I haven't been able to verify...

I was told that there was a film vesion of 'Phantom Of The Opera" where the phantom got his head caught in a record press and thus has grooves stanped into his face. Has anyone seen this film?

The "head in the record press" scene is here, around 3:15. Poor schlub gets mangled by a press containing his own stolen hit song, and transformed into the Phantom in the process. Early Brian DePalma film. Pretty trashy!

I thought you were talking about Kiss Meets the Phantom of the (Amusement) Park, which I remember seeing on tv when it came out.

Check out the console the phantom guy is sitting at.
