Dave Eck opens the state's first vinyl record pressing plant in nearly a century.

Dave Eck's passion for vinyl began at Madison record stores as a teenager. That early love of music led to a career mastering records for major artists. Now he's brought vinyl manufacturing back to Wisconsin, opening Waxxy Poodle in Cross Plains — the state's first record pressing facility in nearly 100 years, producing thousands of records daily.
