A record label is most definately not the same thing as a pressing
plant. You don't need you're own vinyl produciton line in order to
run a label, thank goodness, or there'd be no small labels out there.
There are plenty of companies out there that will take your master
tapes and press them up on vinyl....
As to your real question, how do you start a label, I'll have to pass....
