Today's video of the day comes from Great Big Story and shows us how the Record Indstry pressing plant in the Netherlands makes recirds. Vinyl has been making a comeback throughout this decade and that is good news for Tom Vermeulen, owner of the Record Industry. 

The Netherlands-based company has been operating since 1958, and is one of the largest vinyl pressing plants in the world.  Vermeulen gave us a look inside the factory to see how *40,000—50,000* records get made every day.

This morning, I went out early to buy my copy of the weekend FT — a great newspaper, by the way. I was a bit surprised to see that my regular newsstand, on 6th Avenue and 55th Street, had exactly 3 newspapers for sale — one copy of Baron’s and two copies of The New York Post. That was it. No FT, no NY Times, no Washington Post, no… nothing.
