Elektron starting a vinyl label with Plaid headlining.

Interesting. Plaid will have the the first EP on a vinyl label by Elektron. A win for all (as well as a great PR move).

Interesting indeed...

Only 300 copies btw....

From Plaid's FB:

"We've been working with Elektron Music Machines on a new EP. It will be strictly limited to 300 copies and all profits will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support."

Right!? WTF!? Elektron can't afford a 500 run?

Exellent :)

Isn't this the 2nd thread made for this?

Cool stuff but all profits off 300 records will be what.. If it were me id have lost $$

They probably got the pressing costs donated...

Is there going to be a digital release or is this more format hipster bullshit?

WTF!? They don't even offer a shipping option to the US!!? A necessity for a grouping of their feces is in order.

"This is a strictly limited one-off pressing of 300 copies."

1000% agree. What benefit does it have to do such crazy limited pressings? The only people who profit from it are Discogs sellers who snipe em up right away to immediately resell.
