Mastering and processing costs is another 200-300UKP or so. Coloured
vinyl is extra per unit. Cutting holes in sleeves is extra per unit.
Clear sleeves cost more per unit. Stickers or inserts cost extra to make
and extra to stick-on/put-in to the record (if you're not doing it
yourself). Courier charges.
I'd be surprised if V/Vm make much on their (vinyl) releases unless they
sell at a nice price to their distributor (can anyone say Markant?). You
only start to make money (if thats important to what you're doing) when
you start hitting bigger pressing figures (unless you go the dirtcheap
white label, paper sleeve option) or unless you get a nice deal from
your distributor.
