Jack White urges major labels to open vinyl pressing plants
Jack White is making a plea to the three major record labels to build their own vinyl pressing plants.
In a video released Monday, the Detroit rocker asks major labels to help shoulder the burden on the vinyl industry.
"Vinyl records have exploded in the last decade, and their demand is incredibly high," says White. Noting the strain on pressing plants, he says small punk bands face backups of eight to 10 months in order to get records pressed, and he asks the major labels to once again open their own pressing plants to help bring those turnaround times down to more manageable levels.
"As the MC5 once said," White says, "you're either part of the problem or part of the solution."
