I am sure they do not set them up to do the average 150-200 run wanted now days Well here down under any way
Word has it that this plant done around the 3 million records last year with another plant there doing 1.6 Million (this one I can confirm) another 2.5 million mostly 7" and 10"s in another plant unconfirmed but from a good source all these plants located in the UK
And there is a few others there as well
So it looks like the vinyl record game in the UK is Very Healthy
I was also told that a truck with 12.5 tonne payload of Vinyl Records leaves Holland every day and delivers to their UK located distribution centre for UK clients
Two drivers take turns for the trip across the channel from Holland to England each one driver every other day due to the time taken for the round trip
That is a very healthy market I would have thought given that I was also told that since the GFC orders are down by a good percentage
Also as recent as two weeks ago while in the UK people there suggested that the market worldwide is around the 80 Million records per annum
If the above figure is taken into account with even a + or - 20% variation it looks extremelly good for vinyl
Vinyl than is doing fine I would have thought with 40 odd plants worldwide so the doomsayers are not to be taken serious or into account than
Cheers

Label says "Made In Jamaica". Also spotted a 7" manual press there, more than likely a Finebilt.
