The latest issue of Billboard Magazine features Metallica founding members Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield holding up the vinyl version of “Live at Grimey’s” made at Furnace Record Pressing.
The double 10” vinyl set issued on 11/26/10 as a Record Store Day exclusive for the inaugural event “Back to Black Friday” was recorded in the basement of Nashville’s Grimey’s New & Pre-loved music store. “Back to Black Friday” offers exclusive titles not available online in a successful attempt to draw music lovers into independent retail store.
Furnace MFG, Record Store Day’s official CD and vinyl manufacturing sponsor, is proud to have been selected to produce this important and exclusive Metallica release.
Says Eric Astor, CEO of Furnace MFG, “We have a strong relationship with Warner Music and with Record Store Day. Given this project’s short turn-around time it would have been difficult, if not impossible, for anyone else to complete it. We excel at this kind of high volume and time sensitive project.”
From start to finish, the Metallica project took Furnace less than 3 weeks to complete. Manufacturing the vinyl, component proofing and printing and assembly all went off without a hitch, enabling Record Store Day to launch “Back to Black Friday” with the Metallica retail exclusive centerpiece.
Michael Kurtz, co-founder of Record Store Day adds, “In order to support the retail channel, labels and artists need to be able to provide high quality product when scheduled. Inferior product results in returns and missed street dates, which results in disappointed customers and lost sales. Record Store Day selected Furnace MFG as the official CD and vinyl manufacturing partner because of their reputation for fast turnaround times and high quality product. They fully lived up to their reputation.”
Adds Astor, “as we look forward to the April, 2011 Record Store Day event, we are excited to work with participating artists and labels and we are confident we’ll be able to deliver for our clients our high quality product on time and on budget.”
