The TV People vinyl wait feeds into our latest blog. It's a great article by Bill Cummings from GOD IS IN THE TV zine. ​ It's an in depth look at the issues facing small, independent labels, such as ourselves, when trying to get vinyl pressed. We're delighted to have some input into this debate - thanks Bill for allowing us to reprint his piece here.
