EntryLevelDave Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hey Guys, I wanna do something cool for my Brother and get his band's album pressed on Vinyl. I just want 1 for him to listen to, not 300 to sell. Any suggestions where to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Lathe cuts. They don't sound that great but you can buy just one for like $30 for a 12" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satan Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Don't know the cost to do this, but as museum said you can do the lathe OR actually go through the process at a plant but only get the tests done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plants will usually charge for half the order just to get tests. I think most do minimum of 100 at the highest rate for low runs. That'd cost a lot.

nancy_raygun Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I pressed my brother's band's album as a wedding present. I used Tangible Formats (http://www.tangibleformats.com/) - I used the 10" which didn't include album art, so I can't speak for that aspect, but the record turned out awesome and plays great. He uses lathe cut so it's not super durable but its pretty cheap and he specializes in single pressings. I'd say turn-around was only about 2-3 weeks too.
