Forge Recording recently welcomed New Riders of the Purple Sage producer/guitar player Michael Falzarano and bass player Ron Penque, along with piano/organ player Mookie Siegel (Donna Jean and the Tricksters, David Nelson Band). They came to Forge to work on their latest album "Where I Come From" with good friend, Forge Recording's own Larry Levin and engineer Mark McNutt.

"We feel right at home with Mark and Larry," explains Ron Penque. "The place has a great vibe."

Ron liked Forge Recording so much he decided to record his first solo album here. In addition to Ron on bass, The Ronnie Penque Band project features Katie Pearlman on drums, Chris Penque on rhythm guitar, Jeff Pearlman on keyboards and Andy Tristar on lead guitar, and is being produced by Larry Levin.

CD Offset Printing for the price of silk-screen

Forge Recording announces CD offset printing at no additional cost. That's right. Many manufacturers don't even offer CD offset printing to their retail customers. And those that do often add a hefty upcharge and require large minimum quantities. But at Forge Recording, your CDs can have superior offset printing on the disc for quantities as low as 300. And for a limited time, the price is the same as for full color silkscreen printing. Just one more reason to trust your CD project to Forge Recording.

And of course we still offer full market-ready CD and DVD packages from 25 pieces to tens of thousands, as well as same day service on 100 piece CD and DVD orders. Ask about DigiPaks, DVD wallets and graphic design services too. Call us at 215.885.7000 or email info@forgerecording.com to place your next order.
