[i'm waiting on a quote back from them]

and what about printing covers, is it best/ cheapest to get it done with them?

best & cheap being the optimum words in all this

Trend studios is expensive.

Things has a CD pressing service - it's still in the guinea pig stage (one CD done, plenty of problems encoutered and hopefully solved for the future, two other CDs gonna be pressed within a week or two), if you want to use that I'm yer man so mail/PM me. It's cheaper than anywhere else but I can't yet guarantee freedom from teething problems

Apart from that GZCD (http://www.gzcd.cz) is the absolute cheapest place any of us have ever come across. Dealing with someone outside the EU can cause headaches though (first things pressing went through these and we had a few hiccups)
Cheapest within Ireland is Banned Productions 01-8472137

so these are the best rates:

"(package is 500 albums on CD, with 4 page booklet colour on the outside, b/w inside, colour inlay card, 2-colour on-CD print)

GZCD: €658 + VAT + duty (€819.21 in total)
Sony: €709 + VAT (€857.89 in total)
Banned Productions: €765 + VAT (€925.65 in total)

The first two are special rates for THiNGS, including a discount. The rate from Banned anyone can get."

how do you get the things rate?


i've dealt with gzcd before for vinyl and printing and have had no problems, but just heard if i was doing a cd, it'd be cheaper in ireland.
