Temporary thread, maybe we can merge it at a later date but figured might as well focus on this one for now. After a new turntable or set up? @IceflamePhoenix made this recommended set up post in the old thread (back in 2016!)
If the original thread is dead... we were so close to reaching the top 20 Pop & Justice threads. Has anyone been involved with pressing an album before (as in a standard run, not a one of a kind)? I’ve been really close to reaching out to Cecile Believe recently to see if I can press her recent mini album, but want to make sure from her how many she thinks might shift and if there were plans in the works. I’d be fine at the distribution and online store aspect, it’s more a case of making deals and connections with record stores/distributors I’d be unsure of. I think doing a 250 run and splitting it up between US and rest of the world could work.
What’s happened to the original thread? I noticed it’s only showing posts up to July 11th but I can’t figure out why.
I think it’s a problem with what happened to the database on Friday. Cloudflare, the sever that hosts the site, went down for the 25 mins and it corrupted the database for the site and that’s why it took so long for the site to come back up on Saturday.
Bummed I missed out on that mint Lianne La Havas variant... if anybody spots it or has an extra, let me know!

If you look at the site Tom Aspaul is using for his album, I saw that to press an album there you can have the preorder feature, but also order stock and it connects you with record stores in the UK and can act as a distributor!
I’ve been dying for a repress of Black Tie White Noise. I’m not sure why his 90s work is yet to have a major vinyl resurgence.
Good shout - it's www.qrates.com [FAO @HeartSwells ] Involves setting up a minimum run (as few as 100), only goes ahead if that number of sales are achieved, they handle the pressing and sending out (I think). Otherwise you could get in touch with a broker who could take you through everything you need, or go straight to a plant.
I’m hoping we’ll be getting the next Bowie box set soon which should hopefully cover some of his 90s output. I need Outside so badly.
I saw Outside, one of my faves, selling for about 50 dollars when I lived in Canada last year but was so broke I couldn’t justify it. What happened to those box sets they were releasing? They coincided with remastered vinyls, but they seem to have stopped in the 80s somewhere...
Apparently they took a year off away from the box sets to concentrate on those unnecessary demo 7” box sets and the debut album box set. There was hope for a new era box set this year but there’s no mention of it yet.
Just managed to grab Dua’s Complete Edition for £40 off HMV. https://store.hmv.com/store/music/vinyl/dua-lipa-complete-edition
