Herb "Pump" Powers, Jr.

Real Name:
Herb Powers Jr.
Profile:
Legendary mastering and lacquer-cutting engineer who worked for years at Frankford/Wayne Mastering Labs' NYC facility and was responsible for cutting a respectable share of classic Prelude and West End titles, as well as tons of disco, house, funk, and hip-hop classics over the years.
Herb still does lacquer-cutting and vinyl mastering, but most of his business is now in the digital domain. He owns and operates his own mastering facility called PM Entertainment, a.k.a Powers' House of Sound, in New York City. He almost always includes shout-outs and dedications inscribed in the run-out groove "dead-wax" of his earlier vinyl work, followed by one of his numerous signatures and his trademark smiley face.

Reviews & Discussion

Review by B2BBL Jan 17, 2008
I grew up having a close relationship knowing the Powers family. Herb, his wife and children were always happy people,pleasant to be around. Now i know, its a credit to Herbs humbleness and his layed back persona. I always knew Herb had a good job, I just never knew how blessed and accomplished he really was. To me he was the everyday family guy, the handyman, or the guy who had a nice car on the block. To others, he is the constant worker and dedicated professional who has had a lifetime of achievement within a career survived by longevity. He is the definition of dedication and success, he has always been a role model for me, he is Herb Powers Jr, and he is certainly one of a kind.

With Sincerity,
Benny
