Record Pressing or Vinyl Pressing

 

Record Pressing or Vinyl Pressing is enjoying a resurgence in the past few years. Lots of bands in specific response to their fans now issue both a CD and Vinyl version.

And there are lots of questions that come up around how to do that. Specifically, how much music can fit on each side? Interesting question for a generation who has never manufactured a tape or vinyl before.

Here’s a table to illustrate how each format has a different limit

7" with a large hole
45 LP
4 - 4.5 minutes
7" with a small hole
33 LP
6 - 6.5 minutes
12"
33 LP
20 - 21 is OK
18 minutes is ideal
