Yes, you can make your own vinyl record, and one copy is normal. These guides cover how much music fits, what it costs, how long it takes, and how to choose the right record for what you have.
Before You Start

Yes. You upload your audio and your artwork, and we cut one record for you in our workshop.

The numbers, live
Checked by a person
Nothing on these pages is typed in by hand. The dispatch time, the delivery bands, the runtime limits and the prices are all read from our own order system and our own product settings when the page loads, and the date beside a number is the date it was read. When a number changes, the guide changes with it.
The workshop behind them is small and named: our own lathes, records cut one at a time. Every order is QC checked before it ships, and the questions these guides answer are the ones we get asked.

Sometimes forgets to breathe or blink.
