Opinion: PRP's Best of 2019 (Staff Picks)
By Simon Daley
It’s almost time once again to bid farewell to another year, so we asked the PRP team to share their favorite releases pressed at the plant in 2019.
One of the many great things about working at a pressing plant is that everyone is passionate about music and no two people share the exact same taste in music. This leads to a never ending journey of music discovery and exposure to artists and genres that you never knew you liked. Check out the top albums below from some of Precision Record Pressing’s Toronto and Burlington teams, then hit the jump to listen to December’s edition of our “Fresh Off The Press” playlist – jam packed with the best of 2019.
