Just curious what vinyl pressing plants labels are using these days. United? Also, which ones press 10"s?

Rainbo in Santa Monica does very good work. www.rainborecords.com If you're using United, I'd recommend getting your records mastered elsewhere and having the masters sent to United - their mastering department was very shoddy when I was using them some years ago. Shipping will be a significant factor in the cost, so united may wind up being much cheaper for the Midwest and East. Also, 10"s generally cost more than 12"s, so unless you plan on shipping a lot of them overseas, you may want to just do it on 12". You can do like Sven-Erik Geddes did with the Shatners' record and use the extra space for something nutty.

Here are some more links to pressingplants, I don't know if they are good or bad as we haven't tried them. All European companys. http://www.duophonic.de/ http://www.eldorado-media.com/ http://www.pallas-group.de/ http://www.optimal-online.de

We mostly use United, but we did go through recordpressing.com for one of our releases. Both of them do 10" records, i think.

http://www.musicolrecording.com/ that is where we pressed our last two 7"s. They don't do 10" though.

Cool PJ, I will check them out. Do they have their own pressingplant or do they press the records somewhere else?

We have used GZ Digital Media in the Czech Republic for all our releases. We are satisfied with the work they have done for us so far. We did get a 7" production in 1 week and 2 days when we were in a rush and that was very good service. They also press 10".

A friend of ours is using Handle With Care in Germany and he is recommending them.

Does anyone know which is the cheapest pressplant right now?

We have been thinking of turning to some US pressingplant as the US Dollar is so low against our swedish krona right now but we don't know which pressingplants that are good, any ideas?
