Bandcamp starting to press vinyls

Bandcamp is starting new vinyl pressing service, available to artists and labels later this year. Artisti will first create a vinyl campaign and begin taking orders with no up-front investment. Once they reach their minimum goal of orders, Bandcamp will press the records, print the packaging and ship to fans. Artists decide on the design and price, and Bandcamp takes no ownership of the record. Bandcamp revealed that sales of vinyl records on the site have grown 600 percent in the last five years, with roughly 3,500 unique vinyl albums added every month, Billboard reports.
