But there’s no denying the challenges that come with vinyl production. Manufacturing costs are high, with minimum order quantities often around 200-300 units to make the economics work. Prices for materials and shipping have surged, meaning a $25 record might now cost $40 or more, squeezing fans’ budgets even further. Plus, boring, uninspired vinyl designs simply don’t sell in today’s competitive market. We’ll also unpack the logistics involved—from audio mastering to artwork design to test pressings—revealing why vinyl is a complex endeavor for any indie artist or label.
If you're considering vinyl for your next release, tune in to hear an honest breakdown of the costs, creative perks, and potential pitfalls, so you can decide if this classic format is the right fit for your music.
