[Jukebox-list] Re-issue 78s Custom made

[Dicecco, Michael]

Thanks for sending this Joey. I've seen a similar company like this before (and I think one guy advertises on e-Bay). 

I suspect though that they are cutting blank acetates. They would not hold up to many plays, or offer very good quality. 

There was a link to the site you provided, for RTI services... They give all the breakdown of costs for pressing a record, and the process involved.  I found this very interesting.  

Thanks again, 

Mike

You can have 78's custom made way cheaper than the $100 range and up you guys are talking about. You can have any song you want.  There is a difference between and music collector and a record collector. If you want originals then dig deep into your wallets. If you want the music then this might be an option for you.
