Let me say point blank: as a recording artist with decades experience of releasing my own product (and numerous nightmares along the way), I have never come across a better manufacturing provider than PLAY IT.
Tony the main sales person and production manager was a total blast to work with. He himself is a musician and totally understands things from the artist's perspective while at the same time being totally on top of things technically and logistically. I had a very tight window of production for my CD release concert, and he turned my order around in just over A WEEK.
No hidden surprise fees, bureaucracy or quality control issues. Just fantastic, courteous service and they can do small runs as little as 100 for a very competitive price. I went with the 5 inch mini-jacket, full color and basic black text impression on the disc (I went with white rather than silver for better legibility). That and shrink wrapped for 2.25 per CD. I mean, that's a fantastic price!
Although I didn't need them, they do have a graphics dept. and also offer mastering. All you have to do is get them the art work and CD text to their template specs and along with your CD master, you're ready to get in the production line.
For people looking for a great alternative to Discmakers and many smaller houses with less of a track record (no pun intended!), the personalized service I got at PLAY IT really rocked. I totally recommend them for any artist who wants a great job done with no smoke and mirrors and able to meet very tight turnaround times.
Bravo, Tony! read more
