Each cutting house should be listed in a separate thread with as much contact info as possible in the first post. Can mods try and edit first posts to include extra info as it is posted in the threads?

In each thread list all releases (post cat no and label name) that were mastered there. If a label uses the same cutting house for all their releaes then just post the label name and a not to say this.

List the names of the engineers who work on the tracks if you know them and also add any common etchings that cutting engineers use e.g. "A porky prime cut" for Porky's and "Fresh" for JTS

any more questions then post below...I think it should be fairly self explanatory
