Standard Record Pressing Company, inc.

Opened May 27, 1963. The plant was originally intended to serve as a retirement project with only Hickory Records as client, but by 1967 they were operating 20 presses and 50 clients including all of the Monument disks east of the Rocky Mountains. They also had a large amount of independent labels as clients. The plant could manufacture 30,000 singles and 20,000 LP's a day. SRP may have become defunct by 1971 when Southern Plastics leased their plant after having sold their own machines and real estate to United Record Pressing during bankruptcy. Many SRP pressings can be identified by "SRP" followed by a matrix number scratched in the runouts and printed on labels. Examples: Stop The World (And Let Me Off) / Dearer Than Life Blue Tears / I'm The World's Gift To Man
