Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Jacksonville

Profile:

American pressing plant for The Beatles' releases, and continued until 2004, at which time the plant ceased production of recorded media and became a dedicated distribution center for CDs and DVDs until the finalization of EMI's sale and partitioning in 2013.

Capitol ceased vinyl pressing operations at Jacksonville in 1986 when pressing equipment was removed and CD manufacturing equipment installed. CDs began flowing from Jacksonville under the name Cinram, Richmond, IN.

The identifiable runout marking is a "0", either stamped or hand-etched, and should be entered as such. Although it may sometimes look like an "O" or "o", do not confuse this pressing mark with non-Capitol discs that are stamped with an "o" (see Customatrix) or with a capital "O" (e.g., Epic or others). Jacksonville pressings can also be identified by the 1 1/2" (1.5" or 38.1 mm) diameter pressing ring in the label area.

Additional and complementary identifiers for Warner Bros. releases that were pressed by Capitol had the following codes on the lacquer numbers (the "W" in the 2nd position stands for "Warner"):
- Capital J for Jacksonville plant.
- JW for Jacksonville plant.
- WW for Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Winchester.
- LW for Longwear Plating's "LW").
