i've released numerous 7"s (as well as CDs) all through the mid 90's. not sure about prices now. but then it was about half the price to produce CDs than vinyl. so expect to pay a little bit more, but nothing too heavy. your main problem is going to be finding somewhere that will only do 500. usually mimimums are 1000. and different plants vary in vinyl thicknesses and sound quality. make sure you study up on how long the songs are and how long you can make them without losing quality. the more they squeeze in there, the more its gonna sound like shit. also, have someone else do the mastering, never let the plant master the stuff themselves. more often than not they will do a half ass job. sorry i can't remember exactly the logistics of it all, the only plant i remember using alot back in the day was UNITED. they were the place where most of the punk records of that era were done. they were mediocre in quality, but had nice thickass vinyl. i always dig 7"s. they are the perfect size and defintely cool to get and have and collect. i have too many as it is...time for ebay! if you are interested in more info about records, i could dig some shit up for you. like i said, it's been some years.
