Hi folks,
I am starting my own record label in the US to release a couple of albums by European punk bands. Any info on good pressing plants would be much appreciated.

Okay.
I know there is a plant in Hungary, but that's not going to do for you then.

Hank. He set up his own company a few years back to release some long forgotten about and out of print original Punk era albums.

I just buy white-topped silver CD-Rs, a can of spraypaint and a knife. The end effect is much the same for the limited amounts I release.
Course, if you're making a real label, then feckin' good on you.

Aye, I thought I would have a go at a real label. Obviously all Heartlanders can weed it for free (I owe all you bastards for all the weeds I have received!)

Let me know how you get on, it's an Industry that i've always wanted to get involved in, career wise. Instead of ending up lost in Call Centre Hell in order to meet short term financial commitments

Eep.. maybe soon, BBB, I currently have about £20 to spend on my bands/label, it'll take a while until I can afford to contribute to a split.. but the fact that it could happen is somewhat awesome.
Danke.
