Phoenix Of Vinyl Ltd

Vinyl is making an amazing comeback and I was amazed when a friend said that I could still press up some vinyl records with my own tracks on it for an affordable price. Phoenix Of Vinyl Ltd based in London were great and explaining everything and made it very easy to get my records pressed.

Not expensive

Vinyl pressing is coming down in price as the demand for vinyl records go up. With popular bands like Oasis and Coldplay releasing their back catalogue on vinyl it looks like the vinyl record is the way to go - http://www.hdc.uk.com/vinyl_pressing.shtml

Vinyl is NOT Expensive

At http://www.pressthisrecord.com we run specials for indie bands. You can get a full package of 500 12" with full color jackets and digital download cards, completely assembled for under $4 per piece. Pretty affordable if you ask me, and in the opinion of most, more sellable than CDs.
