Bandcamp has announced the launch of its new vinyl pressing service. The service operates similarly to a crowdfunding campaign, taking vinyl pre-orders which are fulfilled if the sales target is met. Bandcamp will handle the pressing, printing, packaging and shipping, as well as administering a return to the artist based on sales after expenses.
The minimum run for a campaign is 250 records, with discounts applied at 500 and 1000 units. Four test pressings will also be supplied.
Currently it is only operating with a select 10,000 artists which Bandcamp invited to use the service, but is expected to grow.
