im aware of vinyl costs, been there with pressing cds and records.

im not sure their exact format, but i just decided to check out the quote generator for UR for the sake of argument. 1500 records with custom Jackets and paper sleeves comes to a unit price of $3.93 each. Because they are pressing 1500 copies of this the unit price is much cheaper than most bands who will self press 300-500. Besides, if you're self pressing its a labor of love anyway, and probably a better choice to make them cheaper and more available to the fans.

If it comes with a lyric sheet then add a little bit of money for that. Yes of course the band will get paid, but i'm sure with earache this is some royalty deal more than a lump sum or 20% of the pressing like most UG labels do. Even if after all this it did turn out to be $8, they're selling it for $24, triple the cost itself. Also i'm assuming their wholesale rate isn't much better because any labels who distribute this i've seen asking even more than that. Most labels can do just fine selling records with superior packaging for $16-18, and this one doesn't seem too elaborate, just a single disc in a jacket.
