Ooft, Apollo masters went up in smoke, it was one of only 2 plants in the world providing lacquer disks for vinyl mastering. Last few records I've done have been DMM (direct metal masters) but there aren't many plants using that technology (especially in the states). The waiting times to get small runs of vinyl from the big pressing plants can be 3-4 months these days since the majors got back in the game, this will mean fewer independent releases, closure of many plants, labels (and eventually, record shops) in the next year.
