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.

Surface Noise | Latest Freestyle (A-Side Edition) Nov 18, 2024

Show notes

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!
