A couple months ago I tried out elasticstage.com for on-demand vinyl manufacturing. The results were fine, but not what I was looking for:

• Cutting up a 50+ minute concept albums to fit on a single LP is hard and detracts from the experience
• Digital masters sound off to me on vinyl, definitely warrants a warmer remaster if you’re serious about it
• Artwork was not as high quality as I’d hoped
• Minimum sell price of $28

Not worth it imo given my music. I’m trying them out for CDs now.

I can see this working better: digital format, lower price point, easy process. If the artwork quality isn’t 👌 it may not matter as much on the smaller scale of a CD digipak.

I won’t profit much off them, but I don’t feel like a big CD manufacturing process with up-front $$ and if this is a suitable alternative, then great. (2/3)

I ordered a test print of a deluxe edition I spun up for RUINED CASTLE, will report back when it arrives.
