Thank you for posting, Flanny. So in case of the Beatles' first single in the US, did the URP receive an acetate from ARP or Vee Jay and made a mother disc with their Nashville matrix stamp and sent the mother disc to ARP in order for them to press the record, and then ARP stamped their ARP stamp on it during the process of pressing the records? I have already known how to read the RCA matrix numbers but again thank you for your posting. Unfortunately, I have not yet started my investigating on the Japanese machine markings.

I am still investigating on the Nashville Matrix. Some records show a Nashville Matrix stamp and also an ARP (American Record Pressing) stamp on the deadwax. Or, show a Nashville Matrix stamp and a RCA's matrix number on the deadwax. In those cases, which one originally pressed the record? For example, in the article of the URP kindly posted above by chalky, it is stated that the URP is the one who pressed the Beatles' first single in the US for Vee Jay records but there is another story that the ARP is the one who pressed their first single in the US for Vee Jay. See the like below. https://www.sdl.lib.mi.us/history/ARP.html I do not have the beatles single but guess that the single has both a Nashville Matrix stamp and an ARP stamp on the deadwax as same as the other records I stated above. In the ARP article, it is also stated that about 80% of their business was for Motown, and the URP's big clients are Vee Jay and Motown stated in their article. I am confusing which pressing company actually received orders from Motown and why there are both Nashville Matrix and ARP stamps on the same deadwax? Anybody can help me?

I would like to remind you that the weekly auction is ending today Sunday, Oct. 21. If you are planning to place your bid, please do not forget the closing time. The closing time in your country is stated above.

Thank you for your posting again. Now I understood that those numbers (client code and master (matrix) number) were done by them during the process by the cutting engineer.

Thank you for your posting. i think I have read that article before (because I still remember the Motown Suite), but I didn't realize the URP is the company who stamps the Nashville Matrix. So, the Nashville Matrix was stamped by the URP (changed from the name of Southern Plastics in 1971) which is their real company name. It sorted all my questions. Again, thank you for your posting.

Thank you for your posting. It is interesting to me. So, they are NOT a mastering or pressing company. But, if they are a metal manufacturing company, then can we call them as a pressing company? Sorry to say but I am not sure about it. Do you know what their actual company name is? Is it Nashville Matrix company? And which company scratches the client's number on the run-out/dead wax, are they scratched by them too?

Thanks, de-to. Now I know that they are a mastering company and the company name is Nashville Matrix. Anybody know their company history?

Hi, We can see sometime a Nashville Matrix stamp on the run-out/dead wax. Are they a mastering company or pressing company? I know there are customers' numbers on the run-out/dead wax together with the Nashville Matrix stamp, such as 10 for American Records Pressing (ARP), 5 for Southern Plastic Co. (SO), etc., so I guess the Nashville Matrix must be a mastering company and they were giving pressing contracts to various pressing companies. I tried to search the articles (including their history, actual company name, etc.) of the Nashville Matrix on the internet but could not find. Appreciate if anybody here can tell me what the Nashville matrix actually is.
