pressing issues!

So i got the "Magnetism" masters back from twerk over the weekend, and quickly put together my package with the audio and artwork masters together to be sent my vinyl pressing broker, SFH UK.
Send them off first thing on tuesday morning, and mailed Kerem, my contact there, to let him know i had sent them. Got an email back on tuesday night however - the company had closed up. fsck!!
I've been calling and emailing other pressing plants to find someone else to use, and while doing so i also heard that Independent had went into receivership. I figured the closures might be related, like not enough money in being a broker or something.
I was googling round this morning to see if i could find any news about them..
Read here - dang, turns out they got busted as part of a £5m pirate CD sting. It sounds like a somewhat clouded case, and I know Kerem who works there is a great guy, so we'll see how it works out. However, yeah, in the meantime i need to find a new pressing plant to get the vinyl Magnetism out the door!

I've started burning the CDR versions, and should hopefully have a page up on the site this weekend where you will have a chance to pre-order the vinyl, buy the CDR, and choice of buying WAV or 320kbps MP3s, and also a download for free 128kbps.
