Press a vinyl record

You also have a movement towards people buying their new music on record, where they would normally buy it on CD or download it. People like having something tanglible so there is a place for bands and record labels to release mateiral on the ol' fashioned format.
In Australia, you don't have many options if you want to keep your cash within Aussie borders. There really is only two options. The first in Zenith Records, which used to be, I am guessing, Corduroy Records. There prices seem fairly reasonable. Like any plant though, once you start adding sleeves into the mix or coloured vinyl or coloured labels and the price starts to rise. http://www.zenithrecords.org
The newer plant is Vinyl Factory. They do part of the process in London, but the main pressing in Marrickville, Sydney. Their prices aren't especially good in comparison to overseas plants until you get to the 1000 records mark, where that many on the seven inch format will cost you just over 3000 bucks plus GST. Short turnaround is offered though. http://www.vinylfactory.com.au
The other option is to go overseas, but it is important to find out how much it will cost you to have them shipped to Australia. This could easily outweigh the benefit in price.
