“Don’t be embarrassed if you don’t know the process—just ask questions. That’s how I learned everything.”

In this episode, we sit down with Patrick from A to Z Media, one of the most trusted names in vinyl pressing and packaging.

Patrick pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to bring music from digital files to a physical record you can hold in your hands.

We talk about sequencing an album for vinyl, the science and craftsmanship behind plating and pressing, and the hundreds of skilled hands that touch a record before it reaches a fan’s turntable.

Patrick also shares his own journey as a lifelong collector, including the wild story of rescuing a vintage Wurlitzer jukebox off a Los Angeles street.
