The Air Tight Disc Flatter uses warmth and pressure to restore the flatness of LPs. An LP is centered between the marks on the Disc Flatter and the top is closed and locked. The LP is now sandwiched between two glass plates. Set the timer and low power heating elements slowly bring the LP up to the optimal flattening temperature; with heat distributed to the most commonly affected areas of the record (the label and record edges). The timer on the Disc Flatter allows for flattening times from 30Mins up to 120Mins, but in our experience, there's no harm done to the LP no matter how long it's in the Disc Flatter, so we routinely set it to 120Mins.

Loving this. Plant is almost ready for public. We'll soon be welcoming visitors and definitely read to press some awesome vinyl. In the meantime, hope you enjoy this.

A Very Slight Setback
Two steps forward...1/2 step back... We had a water main break under our building Sunday night, so we had to move our boiler to have the pipe repaired. Therefore, we'll have to wait a few more days before pressing more wax --but fortunately-- no major damage was sustained and we are still on track to be open for business very soon!
Hot Off The Press
That's right...the very first records pressed by Gotta Groove came hot off the press on Friday August 21...

I Need That Record
I'm not sure why I've been so into posting these trailers, but people seem to be digging them.
That was kind of a terrible record pun there.
Anyway, plant is nearly ready to be open to the public September 1.
We're ridiculously psyched. New site re-launch coming as well.
LA Weekly – New Vinyl Only Blog
Very exciting to see more vinyl coverage in the media.
In the unpredictable wake of music's digital rebirth, vinyl has experienced a modest boom in popularity, seen by many (with delicious irony) as a replacement for the awkward middleman that is the compact disc. INCHES seeks not only to review the output of L.A.'s healthy vinyl community (one populated by many indies and some well-intentioned majors), but to pay dap to those who continue to tend the flame, believing that good music deserves much more than a handful of ones and zeros.

But there's nothing cool about telling people you work at a cassette winding plant.
