| | | | 45s
My band just finished recording 2 songs and we want to put them on 45s. I think it would be awesome but I can't find a company that does that. Does anybody know of a company that does this? |

The people I know that have turntables only listen to classical, jazz and 60-70s rock.  Try this place. |

I went to Bass pro shop and to my surprise they didn't have a single bass guitar.

Cause it would be really cool. That's all that really matters. Surely the OP can figure out things like the costliness himself. |

FWIW, you could get 100 for that price from many places. $6 a disc? Not bad in my books.
Have fun trying to hold an mp3, or roll a spliff on one. |

And he only wants 'a few' and the minimum order is typically 100.
It still costs $600 for 'a few'. If its worth it to him - great. 45's would be cool.

Mine covers Stax/Atlantic, Motown, hard bop, swing, avant-garde jazz, plenty of blues, 60s rock n roll, folk music, funk etc. Perhaps not as broad as yours, and is mainly made up of jazz and 60s rock, as Stick_Player was saying, but I'm proud of it and it's full of some gems. |

BTW, I did include a vinyl manufacturer's info in my post.  And I stand by my assertion. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
