TOKYO -- Sony will revive in-house production of vinyl records at a Japanese factory run by its subsidiary Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) as early as spring 2018, for the first time in 29 years. A Nikkei reporter on July 7 was allowed a glimpse of the fine craftsmanship required for vinyl record production at a Tokyo recording studio equipped with a record-cutting machine to create vinyl masters, or original recordings for use in mass production.
