Profile

[i]Note[/i]: do not confuse with the unrelated [l=Precision Record Pressing, Inc.], active the 1960s and '70s. Please do not use this company for releases produced before 2017. Record pressing plant (20,000 square foot) located in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, that officially opened May 11, 2017. It is a joint venture (50-50 ownership) between Canadian company Isotope Music Inc, founded by [a2915005], and Czech company [l430654]. In March 2016, Canadian vinyl broker [l486036] merged with [l=Precision Record Pressing], becoming their sales and service branch located in Toronto. Most of cutting and all plating and test pressings production is done at [l430654] and runout etchings will look very similar to records pressed at [l=GZ Media]. Records with [l=Precision Record Pressing] ordering identifiers, i.e. a number that begins with 10- followed by five or six digits (example 10-83451), are generally pressed by [l=Precision Record Pressing], but some more complicated colored vinyl records, 7″ and 10″ were pressed by [l=GZ Media]. Records produced from externally supplied lacquers and metal parts are pressed without these PRP IDs. The pressing ring is 33mm. Releases pressed at [l=Precision Record Pressing] will nearly always have a "Made in Canada" sticker attached to the shrink wrap or seal, or it is printed on the shrink wrap directly.
