Memphis Record Pressing (MRP) is a vinyl record manufacturing plant founded in 2014 with equipment purchased from Will Socolov's EKS Manufacturing. The company is a partnership between Matthew Johnson and Bruce Watson, of North Mississippi record label Fat Possum Records, and Mark Yoshida and Brandon Seavers, of Memphis-based media manufacturers AudioGraphic Masterworks (and previous owners and founders of Rockingchair Records, Rockingchair Studios and Rockingchair Productions). The company was acquired by GZ Media on December 31, 2015, although it is not obvious from either of the companies' websites. This might be an indication they are allowing MRP to continue to operate as an independent entity.
Identified by matrix scheme MRP####.
Many releases contain the Memphis Record Pressing catalog number and the GZ Media catalog number in the runout. In these cases, use "Plated At" for GZ Media and "Manufactured By" for Memphis Record Pressing.
MRP uses some additional internal stamper IDs for their pressings, e.g. hand-etched A4, B1, C2 - more recently stamper codes have been just numeric: #3, #12, etc. Records with such hand-etched IDs were pressed at Memphis Record Pressing and "Pressed By" will be the correct tag here if these additional etched stampers IDs are present in runout.
If there are no hand-etched MRP stamper ID codes in runout, use "Plated At" for GZ Media and "Manufactured By" for Memphis Record Pressing.
If there are no GZ Media indicators, use "Pressed By" for Memphis Record Pressing.
