Over the past 18 months in particular – since the start of the pandemic – “it’s just got unmanageable”. Even an artist as powerful as Taylor Swift had to wait months for her vinyl to be produced: her album Evermore was available digitally on 11 December 2020; the vinyl release followed on 28 May 2021.
But the world’s record needs are served by fewer than 100 pressing plants worldwide, and New Statesman data shows that these plants are meeting just half the estimated global demand for vinyl. “You asked, ‘Is it going to get to breaking point?’” Morrison says. “I’m wondering if we’re there already.”
Major labels have the market power to push up prices on records they know will sell – huge pop releases such as Eilish’s, or classic reissues by acts such as Fleetwood Mac or Madonna – but Morrison can’t be so confident. “As prices rise, people will be less likely to pay for more indie, risky music, the stranger stuff – and that’s the area I work in,” he said.
As an independent musician, Tweeddale relies on her fans buying physical merchandise to support her career, particularly after 18 months of limited touring opportunities. “How do you explain to your fanbase that they have to wait two or three months to listen to your music, when they can go onto a streaming site and play it instantly?” she said. She too is worried that fans might not be able to afford vinyl as prices increase.
Vermeulen suggested that to return to “normal” lead times at the current demand, at least 300 extra presses would be required globally. But the manufacture of vinyl is a complicated operation that requires specialist workers; the process of setting up enough new presses will not be a quick one. Progress is being made in the UK, albeit slowly: a new facility, Press on Vinyl, is due to open in Teesside, reportedly creating 30 new jobs by the end of the year.

did he really? mf claimed the boc maxima CDr isn't real iirc. he also claimed he had "the original cassette without liner" for R35TT, yet 2 years later on WATMM said "Unfortunately that is the only tape I don't have an original of, but the person who sent it to me identified it as being OTV1"
dude's full of shit imo. and fuck his paywalled forum.

Was he really? Remember Twoism was actually in the know. We got to change our forum banner during the TH viral campaign.
Because I’m an a optimistic fuck and me wanty a new boccy

Add onto that BOC time and we're still a ways out...
Either way though, the banner change is a huge event and both mean that we're at a 'when', not an 'if'.
Personally though I subscribe to the "everything is done and they're waiting for the records" theory because I'm an optimistic fuck and me wanty a new boccy.

Luckily the banner change is already over one year ago. A lot can happen in one year I reckon. The artistic process, the actual writing of the music, is what takes the longest time, I think.
Let's have a look at a brief timeline of events:
- Spoiler: show
Make of that what you want, but it definitely increases my optimism a notch.
