Ohhh... I see.. Yeah, Rimbaud was telling me the Unison 10" was quite expensive too.. Will be staying away from that format.

 

[cesspooldublin]

a quick glance reveals that yes, 10" costs the same.
shit.
split LP it is then

 

[Gambra]

Where ye getting them pressed?

Is it possible to get tiny run LP's?

 

[cesspooldublin]

I shall mail you some links at lunch time.Rimbaud reccomended someone in the UK who's apparently cheap and reliable (think it's an agent for GZ,but he said it's actually easier to deal with these folks than GZ directly)

 

[Gambra]

Cool. I've been trying to get reliable quotes for ages. Rockers.PL seems pretty cheap too..

they doing only cd's

 

[Gambra]

they doing only cd's

So they do.. I was reccomended them by Popular & Mark O Connor. Where do you get your vinyl done?

 

[skubol]

easpa measa/silence lp was done through pirate press from san francisco (they press in gz)
tunguska/tbtb lp was done through gz directly but covers was printed in poland
my next release propably gonna be done this way. if gz finally will answear to me. they really hard to deal with.

 

[Gambra]

They also completly misquote on their stuff.. I was quoted double the price of 500 cd's a while back.. Ugh

yeah these guys seem good, I was looking into this a while ago cause I was trying to find a plant that did very small runs of vinyl, between 150-200 cause I think as has been said before it would be hard enough to get rid of that many copies of a band that wouldnt be touring outside ireland. Sterling isa prick though

I'd recommend emailing that pirates press place, they are real competative prices and with the us dollar doing shite at the mo its not a bad move.

Be warned, Toymonger (the band GORILLAMUNCH & desertedvillage have) pressed their LP there in 300 copies and it was so expensive they have to charge 18 quid for it..

 

[cesspooldublin]

where, pirate press or the UK place?
are you sure they HAD to charge €18??

off topic..are you going to Cork this weekend?I'm bringing the Ampere/Sinaloa lp you wanted off me ages ago and bullying the €7 out of you.be warned.

 

[Gambra]

I'm pretty sure its as close to what they wanted to charge for it. The cover may have added quite a bit to it as well.

I MAY be going, I'm not sure yet. I've work sat & sunday morning and I think the Dog are only going down for the night..

i think the uk was the expensive one, pirate press is usa based

 

[skubol]

1000 copies of easpa measa/silence lp costs 3900 us dollars including shipping and it was done in pirate press

Shipping cost you $1700?????

pretty good value considering thats about 3000 euro, nice one skubi!

 

[skubol]

shipping was 500$ to ireland
and 500$ to japan

but lads don't forget that there are many other expenses like:
you have to give bands copies
send records for trading
pre-print the cover to check is everything is ok?
and many more
i don't even mention the time that i spend on all this

 

[Gambra]

There's still $700 unaccounted for.. Pirates Press do an offer of 1000 LP's for $2,200..
