People In A Position To Know is a Limited Edition Vinyl Record Label from Olympia, WA run by a High School Business Writing, Entrepreneurship and Accounting teacher.
The majority of PIAPTK's releases are handmade in some, if not all, aspects. We have our own record lathes to cut lathe cuts, and have recently begun cutting our own lacquer masters on a prototype 1940's Presto 8C professional mastering lathe.
Most releases come in hand-made packaging, quite often made from scrounged, salvaged, and repurposed materials.
Our mission is to eventually reach a pinnacle of ridiculousness with the releases that we will feel cannot be surpassed, at which point, Mike, the owner, will take up either Golf or Backgammon and leave the music industry all together.
