[RESOLVED] Merge Pressing Plant Acme Vinyl (Corp.)

Acme Vinyl Corp. are the same entity, the plant was just "Acme Vinyl Corporation"

There was no entity called "Acme Vinyl", which was likely used because of the (now defunct) website acmevinyl.com - however, Wayback Machine shows the splashpage displayed the name as "Acme Vinyl Corp."

On test pressings, there is an "Acme" logo (no "Vinyl" in logo) and text "Acme Vinyl Corp."

When a "manufactured by" credit appears on the release it appears as "Acme Vinyl Corp."

Their phonebook listing when operative was "Acme Vinyl Corporation"

The company was referred to as "Acme Vinyl Corporation" when it opened:

I propose merge to Acme Vinyl Corp. since that is the actual name and also the name used when printed on releases.

Pinging some folks who have worked on the profiles, multiple releases in entries, and/or knowledgeable about Canadian pressing plants:
SoulDancer,

i would like to add with ‘AVC’ (standing for Acme Vinyl Corporation), etched by cheebacheebakid, thank you so much !

+1 for sure !

now, only a pressing rings rule will miss in order to list the releases without etchings which were related to, and, we are all able to recognize nevertheless...

Well, the handful I have are all 1.375" rings. Maybe W.B. has the details in his databank?

There is one entity that is outside my usual purview. But thanks for enquiring in any case.

If the merge goes through, I will also give you a heads up since a few changes to the runout thread links will be needed.

Thought it was worth a shot - thanks for dropping in at any rate!

I the merge.

Thanks, DBB! This edit would mean a lot of releases updated, so will keep the thread alive a while for any more opinions.

A quick nudge for the weekend

+1 for the merge. Also, it’s funny that Acme Vinyl is listed as both a sublabel and a parent label of Acme Vinyl Corp. Sort of like being one’s own grandparent.

Yeah, it's some kind of Predestination-type paradox for sure. I figured leave as is for linking the profiles now until the Acme Vinyl profile gets invalidated (since it looks like that's the way we're headed).

Will be going forward with merge since no objections after a week...

Merge basically completed. Acme Vinyl profile invalidated and directed to Acme Vinyl Corp.profile, sebfact has updated runout thread, most releases updated with only a few stragglers remaining that are dubious whether Acme pressings at all.

thank you, cheebacheebakid !
