International Automated Media (Label)

Recording and mastering studio in Irvine, California, USA. Originally started in '74 / '75 as a recording studio, it branched out to mastering in the spring of 1978 when they hired Bruce Leek. IAM changed its name to Soundome around 1983 when a lawsuit from the International Association of Machinists' union (who worked at Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Scranton) forced the company to change its name.

Cuts are recognizable by IAM etched in the runouts, sometimes accompanied by an engineer's initials. ½ means the record was cut at half speed.
