Or maybe just plunk down the money to make a single cut for myself and just ask if anyone else wants one before I send the order

solved!

I just opened this at work and had to suppress a chuckle to avoid explaining I'm clearly not doing work.

Another idea I had is doing a 7" with just 3 tracks, then each one will come with a CD-R of both EPs, with data files of the music video I made and a LSDJ .sav.

I've been looking into this myself, but I know a lot of places will charge a lot of money to have just one record printed. I think it's a bit easier to order than in bulk

Guys, just risk your bloody money on the release and fight your ass off to sell them. Otherwise you're just being lazy and you shouldnt be releasing anything at all*. I'd love to get 100 random folks preorder my LP as well and just sit in home and get everything paid, but thats not how a DIY scene works. Give a million concerts, sell shirts, build an audience, then sell records. And if you only sell, lets say, seven copies on bandcamp, PUT YOUR LINK EVERYWHERE AND DONT FEEL ASHAMED. Here I go:

*Unless you already have an audience and its more like "lets save time everybody

Okay, well I found another place called Rabbitfoot Records in Florida (http://www.rabbitfootrecords.com/) that appears to have the exact same German lathe as the guy at Tangible Formats and cuts on real vinyl. But more importantly, the price is much nicer. Apparently, they'll even make 7 inch records for walk-ins at their record store... which might be the coolest service I've ever heard of a record store offering.

Anyway, they charge $25 for a 12 inch. I'm buying one for myself for sure, but if anyone would actually like a copy, message me on here. I'll cover shipping for anywhere in the US.

Or you can just go download or stream both EPs for free at http://portopak.bandcamp.com, then get up and walk across the room between each EP to simulate having to flip the record over.

EDIT: Nevermind. It's $25 EXTRA for shipping, so I'm doing a 10" with a few tracks cut off, still at $25.
