Photo de stock - 22 August 2022, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Güstrow: Daniel Slabschie, one of the managing directors of the record company ""Matter of Fact"", checks the quality of a freshly pressed record. The company, which currently has five employees, has been producing records for several weeks in a former potato hall that had to be extensively converted for record production. With a force of 150 tons, the long-playing records are produced on the presses at 200 degrees Celsius from polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Between 250,000 and 300,000 records are to be pressed each year. According to the German Music Industry Association, over 4.5 million records were sold in Germany in 2021, generating vinyl sales of 118 million euros.
