Amsterdam start-up company, Vinylify, will allow customers to print and design their own vinyl for €50. That's a pretty awesome deal, if you ask us.
The idea is simple, customers upload up to 20 minutes of music and design the sleeve artwork, Vinylify will then cut the record by hand and post it to you in 3-4 weeks. You can either choose your own music or browse a catalog of music that will pay royalties to the rights holders.
Vinylify prints exclusively on 10" vinyls and cuts, packages and labels the record by hand. The company use cutting machines that date back as far as the 80's, a Technics 1210 MK2 turntable and an audio rack that converts digital sound to analog to ensure high quality transfer.
The whole service is avaliable at a fixed price of €50 (roughly £35) not including shipping. This is a steep investment considering this company haven't even reached their crowdfunding goal yet.
If you're willing to shell out for it, Vinylify might be an amazing way to convert those dusty old mixtapes into a premium format or could make the perfect gift for your audiophile significant other.
