Hey, I understand the article. I was being flippant. It sucks that people are having to wait so long. But if you've tried to get something pressed in the 5 month period before record store day in the last few years, you wouldn't be too surprised. But then, like you said, I understand that a micro run of 300 LPSs isn't high on anyone's agenda, especially if you actually send test pressings back multiple times stuff can take an eternity.
Record Store Day fucking sucks, it's entirely to blame and I don't think many of it's customers are buying independent Vinyl on the reg.
I wonder what the mastering is like on something like the red or 1989 gatefold? Have you heard it?
A friend just got some dub plates done in Hackney in 24 hours, might be time to start releasing stuff in editions <100.
