Is the 33.90 Pounds for a single 12" record? Thet collect 20.00 pounds?? I am a little confused Please clarify that for us as it does not make a lot of sense
Thanks

It Seems they get about 13.42 pound for the release the balance to the artist, 20.48 Pound If one wants a "test" cut before release it comes at the full price of 33.90 pound
I can say this much It works out at around the $AUD 69.00 plus postage? a bit pricey I would have thought so than again it may feed a few artist here and there but a dare say it would not make any great inroads into the game even the single cut guys here there and everywhere
So to all our single cut ppl out there I wouldn't loose much sleep over this one
Maybe lifting up the game a bit but than again i know very little about that side of small runs and single cuts, happy to be corrected all the same at the dollar part anyway

@mossboss, If you open the site and scroll down to the end of the page you will find the calculator - 1 sold unit - they earn 33.90GBP - you earn 8GBP, 1000 sold recs - 9100 GBP for the artist. It's not bad (for them)

Interesting collaboration as it's been promoted to a lot of people this week.

Artists love to see how their records are made.... they hide behind bad promo videos and hype speech. If you guys are changing the game, show us! Until then, we have a lot of business, cut cut cut!

The sound cloud idea has been had by almost every cutter, late to the game on the idea but congrats to them on landing the account.

A friend sent me one of their discs. To be fair, it might be a rogue, but this is a straight recording of how it arrived (first play, music removed).

what do you mean by music removed ?

[PLD]

I mean the music has been edited out, leaving the run-ins, track breaks and run outs.
