yeah, there is no such thing as cheap vinyl pressing. And if you do find a deal. It is generally for some like 80 gram vinyl, paper thin that only lasts a few plays.

i stole this off another site somebody was asking about

Pirate Press (they are a broker for a Czech plant), RTI, Bill Smith, United and Nashville (nashville does not have a website and is different than Untied even though they have worked together quite a bit)

Pirate Press is great. I've also heard if you can get a hold of the Czech plant directly, you can get a better deal.

There's a place in Tennessee (maybe it's United?) where you can get 7-inches pressed on the cheap. Something like 300 with center labels for $500, and you can send them just about any format for your master, like a cassette.
