How Vinyl Records Are Made

I find this crap endlessly fascinating.
It's really great how the narration removes any sort of hip cache from the preceedings.
It's really just geeks going through an elaborate process to make something only a handfull of fellow geeks are going to truelly appreciate.
It's almost like the time I had to listen to the guy who ran Chicago's Jazz Record Mart go on and on about lathe settings and vinyl weights just so I could sort through a jumbled up carton of Novelty "cut in " 45s.
What was interesting about the box of 45s was that there where about 400 of them, and none of them were by Dickie Goodman. I don't know why I thought this was historically signifigant, or how this parlayed into me giving a shit, but it was the nineties. Anyway, the record making process is cool;


But Wait, there's more...........

I was so bummed when the first video stopped halfway through the process. Then I scrolled down and saw, "But wait there's more!" and was totally relieved. Thank you for making me zone out for a bit.

Fascinating. It reminds me of those segments on "Mr. Rogers Neighborhood" where they went to a factory and showed how everyday products were made.
