Hey guys!
 
My best friend and I are seriously looking into starting our own record label meant specifically for pressing vinyl, both new and represses. We are drawing our inspiration from the new founded Bad Timing Records. We want to make our releases special whether it be  through exclusive artwork or unique color variants. It's in the early stages now, but we're slowly gathering as much information as we can in order to do this thing properly. The goal is to have something up and running by the end of summer or fall. The only real issue we have yet to work out is the process and costs for acquiring the rights to anything we look to press, but hey that's what email is for. 
 
Mainly posting, just to see if anyone has looked into similar idea? Maybe has some insight? 
 
On top of that, are there any records (realistic) you think need to see the light of day or be repressed? Keep in mind, we are relatively small, so we not looking to repress Deja Entendu or anything (hahaha!)
 
I've joined VC recently, already met some great people, and look to be a contributing member, so even just a reply for some support would be awesome!
 
Thanks everyone!
 
 

That's the goal! After the first run through of potential costs I ended up at $12, but that's just an estimate. 
 
Hey do you mind if I PM'd you a few questions?

I said BTR because they are similar in the sense that they're two good friends and I love their work, but we are looking into a lot of labels for inspiration. 

Nothing worse than shitty customer service. This has been a dream of mine, I would never let it fail because of something like that. 

The goal is to release albums that are personal favorites of ours and albums that we know others would appreciate seeing on vinyl. It's not to release records that we expect to sell a ton of copies and make us money. It's to have our name permanently put on a piece of work that means the world to us. I do understand where your coming from, but that's our vision. 

Ouch that's rough! Our first project is going to be relatively small, probably going do /250. I've been doing a lot of research to make sure things happen as we would like them to.

Big pet peeve of mine too!

Our first project is looking to be similar. The band isn't local, but they aren't signed or anything. The goal is to jump around the "acquiring rights" and get use the saved money to make the release special.
