Lyntone Platers

I did get some good feedback on this question from Stephen King. Not the writer, but the former record biz guy! (Hear the interview with Stephen.) Stephen "worked in Quality Control at Pye Records for three years and then went on to Lyntone and became Quality Control Supervisor...Lyntone's reputation was mainly for flexidiscs, however our main business became 12" & 7" vinyl records from the early 80s. Lyntone ceased manufacture of flexidiscs around 1988. The company closed just before Christmas 1990." Stephen reveals the mysteries of the inscription's genesis, "Whilst most inscriptions in runout grooves are from Cutting Engineers, a few have come from other sources including the factory employees! Whilst at Lyntone a couple of guys in the Plating Shop (where positives and stampers are made) got into trouble for writing "Platers do it every hour and a half!" on a Telstar Greatest Hits record! The inscription was a double entendre in that it took around 1 1/2 hours to "grow" (electroform) a stamper and over here the term "plater" can have another (sexual) meaning!!" 

Wow! Does anyone out there have that Telstar greatest hits?
