'A Glittering Career In Music'

I've released an album this week on vinyl and CD using ElasticStage.

 

 

Sound clips can be heard on their website. Available now at https://elasticstage.com/ianedmundson/releases/a-glittering-career-in-music-album

My band is looking at this for our debut album, so can I please pick your brains on the process as the website is very light on actual production specifications?

 

1. Since this appears to be essentially print on demand I assume the CD version is CDR rather than glass-mastered. Can you confirm this?

 

2. Did Elastic Stage offer any advice for the running order and side length for the vinyl version?

 

3. Can the vinyl version have a different track order to the CD? I see that your CD version has additional tracks on the end but what I'm interested in is having a different running order for the tracks that are common to both formats to make the most of the strengths and weakness of each format.

 

4. Can I have different artwork for the CD and Vinyl versions? Or are they just scaled versions of each other? I don't want completely different designs but I would like the "small print" to be at an appropriate size for each size of cover.

 

Thanks in advance.
