id be happy with a cd m8 :) and tbh vinyl is seriously on its ass now, press as little as possible. People dont seem to be as bothered with it as they were, who'd of thought hey.
Ive shifted about 75% of my collection now, and its been damn hard to shift!!

UPDATE!!!!!!

Now its time to get this Vinyl of mine started. I have 9 tunes to choose 4 from.

I have an idea what 4 but ill put up my youtube list and get peoples reactions as to what tunes they would like to hear on my 4 tracker. This applies only to the people who will actually buy this from me. I will also work out how many will want this and get an idea how many to press, 10-15-20-25 etc etc.....

I need PM's, E-mails from people who are happy to pay around £12 for a copy (This is just to break even on cost not even postage cost) If I find that's too much for people to pay then ill see about lowering it and making a loss, the idea of getting this done out weighs the cost for me...... but ill leave it at £12 to start things off.

I know what route im taking in getting these pressings done, I know there are always bigger and better ways of doing this but Time is against me and doing this from New Zealand is a no go,,, so as soon as I decide on what 4 tracks are going on this Im getting it done. (Tracks will be mastered before they are pressed & I'm only ever doing this once) Vinyl pressing does cost too much for a small armature producer like myself but at least I can get small runs done.


If all goes well, I should have them ready to be shipped out by Mid/End November.

So please get hold of me asap and ill take your name down and what tracks you would like and that gives me an idea on how many to get pressed and what tracks to go on it! I will give it till the 23rd Oct (2 Weeks Today) on a final decision.

I have also finished a Belgium Techno like track called "Malfunction" which is my newest track.

Here is my youtube playlist. The tracks are in order of when I made them, 1st = Newest, 2nd etc etc.

Remember that the sound quality on youtube is of a lower quality of what will be pressed on vinyl

I'd go for Summer of love, Rhythm and riffs, Pope Waverley and Squarepeggio.

I'll have a copy of whatever you decide on anyway. :thumbsup:

Will you be making the WAVs available as part of the deal?

phones:

Yeah of course I can, That is also something I can do online rather than worrying about a physical item and postage. When I get it mastered ill get the Wav's off him.

Thanks for the reply. your the 1st one I have written down in my book!

Yeah I have 1 buyer. haha...
