The tests have been running since 2019.
It’s official: after conducting a test with just 50 artists, the California-based company Bandcamp revealed that it will expand its vinyl record manufacturing project to 10,000 artists.
In its first experiment, the brand shipped 13,000 vinyl to 65 different countries. From now on, they will take care of the pressing, shipping, and customer service, while the artist will only have to take care of choosing the album design and the sale price. This production will be financed by fans who reserve in advance, so the artist will not have to make any financial contribution.
The 10,000 selected musicians have already been invited to make their records with the company.
