RCA Records Pressing Plant, New York

Profile

Short-lived (1949-55) pressing plant for [l=RCA Victor], opened around late 1949 for pressing of long-playing records for clients of [l=RCA Victor Custom], along the way adding 45 and 78 RPM records to their pressing array; it was an add-on to the pressing capacities of [l406973], [l691562] and [l465444]. Most releases on RCA Victor itself that were pressed by this plant were promotional copies. ▶ Pressings from this plant are identified in the runout section by a stamped 'N' following the matrix numbers. ▶ Releases on RCA Victor are identified by a double hyphen ( = ) between 'Phonograph' and 'His' in the upper rim text (ie. Phonograph = His). The New York plant was phased out in 1954-55 as the newer [l461373] was being put into operation.
