The bizarros are just the standard black 7"s with a sticker added as a new centre, if you look carefully you can see through the sticker at the original label. So yeah, I guess TMR just made them themselves.

Small hole or large hole center on the 45s? If it's a large hole, I'd expect some of them to have gotten punched through.

Normal US jukebox hole. The FFB has only one side labeled so the hole is obvious.
I got that deep into variants once before with a collection, please shoot me if I go there again, it will drive you crazy I promise...
But nice stuff for sure.

Science Channel show Factory Made that outlines how vinyl records are made following the process that was used to make the Ramones - Mania split color record for Record Store Day 2010. It's all shot at URP and if you watch closely, you can see a ring of excess vinyl from a tri-color in the background of one shot. Below the video is a link to pictures of the record being made on the URP Facebok page.

How funny is this typo when referring to its quality?!?!

Test Pressings

* Tests pressings are to preview the audio quatlity of your records and approve them before we begin pressing. All tests have generic UNITED labels. All 7" test pressings are run with large holes. If you opt not to have test pressings run and there is a problem with your records UNITED is NOT responsible.
* Test pressings are mandatory when metal lacquers or metal parts are sent in.

Old thread, but a new video tour of URP with Ben Blackwell as your guide.

^Very informative. Kinda like tri-colors a lot more now I know how labor intensive they are to make.

This is cool - are URP also responsible for flex-rays? I've been wondering how they are done since I found out they were a thing.
