New World Vinyl Distribution

Over the years, I’ve released numerous titles on vinyl, including full-length 12-inch albums and several 45s. While there’s nothing quite like seeing a new pressing arrive, it can also be overwhelming when 500 records show up at your door on a shipping pallet—that’s roughly 60 boxes of inventory to manage.

Long-term storage has always been one of the biggest challenges. Vinyl records need to be protected in a climate-controlled environment to prevent warping and damage, much like a collector carefully stores a prized cigar collection.

For independent artists, selling through a run of 500 records can easily take a year or more. Transporting vinyl to shows presents another challenge, especially when you're hauling boxes through places like Manhattan. Fortunately, artists now have access to print-on-demand and fulfillment services that make the process much easier. A customer can order a title online, and the record is pressed, printed, and shipped directly to them.
