Vinyl Record News & Music Notes

neat story in salina kansas about a record pressing company:

PRESSING MATTERS

By DAVID CLOUSTON Salina Journal

Two things become clear in the first few minutes while Chad Kassem gives visitors a tour of the latest addition to his expanding business empire.

One is that the worn and greasy unrestored record presses resting in pieces in a dark warehouse corner show how much work it will take to bring them back to life.

The second thing is that those unused presses are ample proof Kassem's business isn't through growing.

Six restored presses resting under bright fluorescent bulbs atop a freshly painted floor in a room nearby appear as shiny as the day they left the factory. They're all 30 years old or older and have been tricked out with the latest electronic monitoring devices.

"Paint 'em now, clean them up. Do everything you can think of. Now is the time," was Kassem's charge to the technicians he's hired to make his latest vision for his company a reality.

Salina for years has been known for the products made here and shipped nationwide -- automotive batteries, frozen pizzas, fluorescent lamps, farm tillage implements, firefighting equipment and airport shuttle buses, to name a few. Now, thanks to Kassem, high-quality vinyl records can be added to the list.

and in music history for today:

In 1959, 16 year-old Wayne Newton made his Las Vegas debut at the Freemont Hotel. That first booking, scheduled to last two weeks, stretched into three years. Newton went on to become the king of the Vegas showrooms, earning close to $20-million a year.

In 1962, the Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein met with EMI producer George Martin, who signed the band a month later to record demos.

In 1964, Louis Armstrong dethroned the Beatles at the top of the American Singles chart after 14 weeks with Hello Dolly.

In 1965, the Beatles, Donovan and members of the Animals and Manfred Mann attended Bob Dylan’s concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

In 1966, the Doors auditioned to become the house band at the Whiskey A Go Go in West Hollywood.

In 1970, The Guess Who started a three-week run at #1 on the U.S. singles chart with “American Woman” – it was the group's sixth top 30 hit and only chart topper. The song was born by accident when guitarist Randy Bachman was playing a heavy riff on stage after breaking a string. The other members joined in on the jam. A fan in the audience who had recorded the gig presented the tape to the group after the show. The band later developed the impromptu jam into a full song.



Also in 1970, the Blues Images "Ride Captain Ride" was released.



In 1974, John Landau saw Bruce Springsteen opening for Bonnie Raitt in Cambridge, MA. He wrote of the show "I have seen rock & roll's future and his name is Bruce Springsteen."

In 1980, at the Ivor Novello Awards in London, I Don't Like Mondays by the Boomtown Rats won Best Pop Song and Outstanding British Lyric while Supertramp's The Logical Song won Best Song Musically and Lyrically.

lots of birthdays today including Tommy Roe (68), Richie Furay (Buffalo Springfield) (67), Billy Joel (62), Tom Petersson (Cheep Trick) (61), John Edwards (Status Quo) (58) and Dave Gahan (Depeche Mode) (49), just to name a few.
