If you require a very short run of pressings, UK based company One Cut Vinyl<\/a><\/em> is a cutting studio that can turn your digital audio into a physical copy without you leaving the house. Short runs are perfect for test copies, a gift or just showing off your own music in a classic fashion. You can even print a mixtape, One Cut Vinyl will help with arranging licensing for commercial tracks.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
