Concert Buddie | Making Records with Hellbender Vinyl (Jeff Betten)
Wednesday Nov 20, 2024
Wednesday Nov 20, 2024
Buddies, you know how important quality and good sounding vinyl are to record collectors everywhere. Today on the pod I speak with Jeff Betten, founder of Hellbender Vinyl in Pittsburgh, PA who gives us a peak behind the curtain of their facility. Open for just under two years now, Hellbender has quickly developed a reputation for quality and creative solutions. As Jeff says "if you can dream it up, we can make it happen". Here Jeff shares the origins of Hellbender, and how an ambitious idea turned into a business plan, and then a full-fledged pressing plant in a town synonymous with building and making things. That local DNA isn't lost on them, including their mission statement: "Hellbent on quality. Hellbent on service. One of America's most trusted vinyl record pressing plants".
Jeff is a musician himself and has been part of the Pittsburgh music scene for a bit, including time spent at a couple labels in the city. From large runs for household names acts, to smaller orders for indie bands just breaking in, Hellbender serves artists and their fans alike by creating great vinyl to share with the world. Learn all about this business and what their future holds here only on Vinyl Community Podcasts!

Surface Noise | Latest Freestyle (A-Side Edition)
Monday Nov 18, 2024
Monday Nov 18, 2024
Ever had a terrible experience with an online record buyer? A guy (or gal) that was simply the WORST to deal with? Put on a warm fire, sit back in a good chair, pour a beverage of choice and listen as Arnaldo (Fidelios_Frequency) shares a tale following the latest SURFACE NOISE (A-Side) that would irritate any person trying to sell records. Following some discussion on the latest Rhino Hi-Fi release of The Stooges (self titled debut), another crack in the case is made when it's discovered that the buyer has now listed his own copy of Arnaldo's record for sale on his Discogs store. Is it a "switcheroo" scenario? Is there flim-flam afoot? Only you can solve a mystery, and a mystery we have on our hands during the latest FREESTYLE here on Vinyl Community Podcasts!
