Jamaican vinyl pressing infrastructure

Well supported

Jamaica pressed its own records from the late 1950s — Federal, Dynamic, Tuff Gong and a ring of smaller plants — which is a large part of why its record culture could move so fast: a rhythm cut on Monday could be on a stamper by midweek and in the dance by the weekend, with no overseas round trip. Most of that capacity is gone; Tuff Gong's plant survives.
