Kickstarter has launched a new vinyl crowdfunding initiative

MAKE Vinyl hopes to provide musicians with tools and resources to press records.

Kickstarter has teamed up with start-up record service Qrates for MAKE Vinyl, a new initiative aimed at encouraging new projects on Kickstarter to offer vinyl-related rewards.

Between 5th June and 1st August 2017, projects submitted to MAKE Vinyl with at least one record offered will be in effect mentored and promoted by Kickstarter Music. Successful projects will then receive a discount when fulfilling their vinyl releases with Qrates.

Billed as “one stop vinyl pressing and fulfilment for Kickstarter”, you can find out more about the initiative here.
