For those who go through Nashville, you can check out the Third Man Film Lab. It's owned and operated by Jack White.

He has so many plates spinning I don't know how he does it.

Yeah, and have you seen their recording studio?
You can go there in their sound booth and record directly to vinyl. Then they make a master and can press your record...

All analog. I think the only digital stuff they use is in accounting!
