Notes

I'm happy for LUMORA to keep this playlist and my details while we talk about pressing it. We don't share them, and we delete the lot if nothing gets pressed.

No payment now. We reply within two working days, usually sooner, never on a Sunday.

Before you send

Mind the run times

The Single: up to 5 minutes a side. The LP: up to 22 minutes a side. The Box: up to 88 minutes total. Over by a song? We'll suggest a cut, gently.

Two colours, no more

Every record is two colours of virgin PVC swirled under the platen. Not three, not a picture disc, not glitter. Ask Priya about glitter at your own risk.

One of one

The Single and The LP are editions of exactly one copy. If you want a run for a band, a wedding or a very organised family, that's The Box: 12 to 50 sets.

Prices by format
Format	Size	Price	Minimum
The Single	7" · 45 rpm	£38 per record	One copy
The LP	12" · 33⅓ rpm	£74 per record	One copy
The Box	2 × 12" · gatefold	£160 per set	12 sets

Sleeves included. UK shipping is £6 flat; EU on request; anywhere further, ask first.

Before you worry

Nothing to pay now.We invoice once you've approved the plan: half then, half when it ships.
You approve the cut.Theo sends a reference of the lacquer before anything is plated. Change your mind then, not after.
About six weeks.Cutting, plating and one press take the time they take. We'll tell you the week, not the day.

Questions

Things people ask
before pressing.

Which links work?

Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, YouTube Music, Tidal, SoundCloud and Mixcloud all fine. So is a numbered list typed into the Notes box, or a photo of a Post-it. What we need is the songs and the order. We source the audio at the best quality we can get, and if you own masters or WAVs we'll happily use those instead.

What if my playlist is too long for a side?

It usually is. The LP takes about 22 minutes a side before the groove gets so tight the bass starts to mumble. June replies with a side split and a suggestion or two for what could go. You decide. Nothing is cut without you saying so, and a shorter side genuinely sounds louder.

Can I choose where side A ends?

Please do. Put it in the Notes. House rule, offered for free: side B should open with the second-best song. June will defend this position at length if you ask, and at moderate length if you don't.

What about the music rights?

The Single and The LP are one-of-one editions for your own shelf, the vinyl equivalent of the mixtape you used to make for a friend, and we treat them that way. The Box is a run, so for that we'll ask you to confirm the music is yours or that you hold the rights to press it. If you're unsure, email before you order and we'll talk it through.

Not ready to press?
