Record Press ???

I was wondering how viable a record pressing business would be?

since there are apparently less and less presses available if you could get one and get some contracts with bigish labels then you would make a decent living?

to press a record cost around 50pence i think, the profit margins must be fairly large and it will be a niche market.....

If you can afford to, you'd get the thumbs up from me.

im sure that if you did get one everyone would be your best friend all of a sudden, just like when you were the first in town to get a 2x cdburner a few years ago..

My 2x burner used to take 40 MINUTES! to do a single cd! my god i must have been dam patient back then.

And as for pressing vinyl.. the equipment would cost you a fortune!!!
You would one hell of a bank loan to get started.

You'd probley have to re-morgage your house (if u own one). plus im sure there must be some sort of licence u must apply for before pressing copyrighted material. law aye? what is it good for? nuthin! Surprised
