Canadian mastering studio and lacquer cutting facility, operating under this name from 1976 until around end of 1987 when it was changed to The Lacquer Channel.
The mastering and cutting facility was opened in house at Alan Moy as the mastering engineer. It remained at Phase One until 1988, when they moved to their current location in Toronto, ON.
Mastering engineers included Terry Medwedyk.

Records cut at The Lacquer Channel Limited are identifiable by an etched "TLC" in the runouts. This is often followed by a suffix and/or initials (e.g. TLC-T GAM) which indicates either the brand of lacquer that was used in the cut and/or or the cutting engineer. Please use Lacquer Cut At when crediting the company and Lacquer Cut By when crediting the engineer. DO NOT USE for records cut after 1987.
