You can call them too, business is business. UR and other Detroit labels
press from multiple sources though, not just locally. But:: press up loud!! I
am sure you know about those records that seemed as if they were recorded at
the wrong speed, or maybe the 150bpm they wanted it to be heard at, as well
as that record that is just way too low or blasting high and screws up your
nicely matched levels. Vinyl is also mastered a bit different than a
CD,...Long story short-- Magik is right, do an acetate, otherwise you will be
better off (money-wise) pressing 200 or more and you may not need that many.
If it's a good track that you really dig, you can always press more.
Hope that helps--
