Thanks! Yeah, my first vinyl-release, it's something I've been wanting for years...been to the cutting room a few days ago where it was mastered...a great experience...totally new for me. If everything goes well, I'll receive a few testpressings next week, if these are OK, I expect to have the singles over here within 2 weeks...can't hardly wait...
About YouTube: maybe the titles are a bit too small for YT (?)...I'll try....

If you're gonna scratch with it, maybe you should buy a few extra copies.... 
EDIT....white turntablism power....yes, that does sound wrong....

Great, Gideon!
That's only 523 to go, no, wait, make that 522...(I'll keep one myself...)
But seriously now...I do have a real problem. When I decided to release a single I realised that most of them had to be send directly to the buyers' address (I don't have a distributor (yet) ). So first I checked the postal rates to Europe and the rest of the world. I took some singles, some cardboard and the conclusion was I could keep the package beneath 100gr. so the single was packaged well and the shipping rate reasonable.
BUT...in the process of making this single (it took about a year) I did forget one important thing: keep the weight beneath 100grs!!! And, you guessed it...I forgot. Since this is my first vinyl release and I love vinyl myself (especially luxury editions!) I wanted to release something special: the sleeve is 280grs. cardboard with a 3mm spine and in addition there's also a 115grs. innersleeve and it's sealed. So if I would package it as I intended, there's no way it I can keep it beneath 100grs...

In the coming days I will experiment with some materials...maybe I can find a way to overcome this problem.
Greetings, Roland
BTW.....shipment outside Europe above 100grs. would be...€5,34!!!

EDIT: what did I edit? The price....I made a mistake, sorry....
