So a new thread. Here’s what i posted before :
There is a new way to manufacture vinyl records.
With this new process records are produced one at a time on-demand, available without a lead-time. Being made without pressing from a master, it is said to produce a better sound. Because there is no hot pressing process, and using an alternative to PVC, with no waste of surplus records, the production of hazardous chemicals is said to be nearly eliminated.
The process has been developed and patented by elasticStage, a startup, who are schedule to open their first record fulfillment centre in London in the fourth quarter of this year. The records are said to be competitive with conventional records in price.

Here is a slide that elasticStage did as a part of their presentation to raise capital.
Perhaps that addresses your question @darenager.

Another advantage to this low volume on-demand approach is that it costs less up front, without having to buy in volume, helping smaller and even perhaps a startup producer afford to make records, and ramp up production as demand increases.
ADDED : I like that there is a connection from Streaming services provided in elasticStage’s presentation slide.
