DIY album release - anyone have recommendations for getting cd and vinyl pressed? (1 Viewer)

[Sweetie]

Hi all,
We've finished mixing our album, nearly got the art work done. For the EP we got the cds pressed by someone up north but weren't happy with the, er, customer service.

Does anyone have any contacts or could recommend someone they've already used and been happy with? We've got a good bit of time so would be happy to get it done in Europe somewhere if that was the most cost effective route.

Thanks in advance for any advice

The last few SWs releases been pressed by DMS.
Excellent service.

Who/Whats DMM?

Who/Whats DMM?

Direct Metal Mastering, it's cutting a master on to metal rather than lacquer. Some people prefer the sound of lacquer.
