I’M NOT IN KANSAS ANYMORE
Just back from Salina, Kansas where I photographed Blue Heaven Studios’ 15th Annual Blues Masters at the Crossroads concerts. The live music was inspirational and aided by the superb acoustics in the converted church studio. It was a fun-filled weekend hanging out with Michael Fremer, Chad Kassem, Kevin Gray and many others.
Here’s a photo of Michael and Chad at the QRP record pressing plant right across the street from Acoustic Sounds’ record warehouse. Michael reports that, “The pressing plant will go from six presses—four SMTs and two hand-operated Fine Builts—to a total of ten presses operating, with the addition of two additional SMTs and two Swedish Alpha Toolexes similar to the ones PALLAS uses in Germany.”
Anyone who has heard a QRP pressing is sure to be thrilled by that news. Too bad they aren’t pressing The Beatles vinyl there from analog tape!
