Well, with some PayPal money I'd gladly pick one up for you but the signature....not sure on that part.elduderino wrote:godspeed simms! and could you buy me a tmr wreckers hockey jersey and have dean fertita sign it?! that would be awfully cool of you.rsimms3 wrote:Could TMR have something pressed in Detroit? Anything is possible.
Do I think they would have something ready by then? I doubt it. When I was there just after the opening I didn't get the impression they had a date of delivery for the machines. Installation of pressing equipment takes a good chunk of time and may require specific permits. I'm thinking about heading over there on a day off next week, if things fall into place I could report back.
thanks.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention this!
No Pujol!?
He's been on a streak for having a release the last few RSD events.
That alone would've been enough to get me out of bed.

Re: Record Store Day 2016
I was just at TMR and spoke to a gentleman I believe may be their pressing manager. He said they were 6-8 weeks away from pressing records. Machines are on location and being installed. Indicated technical support from the press manufacturer would be on site next week. No pics, Windows were covered. Forgot to ask if they are doing their own plating.

^^ That is some damned cool news. Thank you for getting the scoop. Can't wait to find out what their first pressing will be.

Looking forward to checking it out this summer when I arrive back home. I hope they do tours of the plant.

If it remains one big room like it is now, tours will probably consist of looking through the window.arewhyehen wrote:I hope they do tours of the plant.

Re: Record Store Day 2016
I can imagine them restricting access to the plant.
If that means limiting tours or curtains for the windows I don't know, but you know how they like to keep things under wraps.

Re: Record Store Day 2016
^^ Indeed. I would imagine no tours and the curtains closed when they're working on a big surprise.

It would be cool if the standard black GBMS was at least one of their first releases. It's way overdue! (Not for RSD, of course.)

It is almost time for TMR to make their announcement(s), isn't it?

I was told no American Epic until the series is released in the fall.
