Adele’s ’30’ Sends Vinyl Pressing Plants Into Overdrive, While LP Shortages Leave Many Artists Chasing Pavements

Sony Music sources tell Variety that more than 500,000 vinyl copies of “30” have been manufactured in the months leading up to the album’s Nov. 19 release, with the company pushing catalog titles off its overseas pressing plants to ensure there won’t be any shortage of Adele LPs going into the holidays. 

To do that Adele had to turn in ”30” more than six months ago.
Most artists are given deadlines even earlier than Adele’s — typically eight to nine months ahead — to make sure their vinyl will come out at the same time as digital drops. 

Smaller imprints or indie bands are being told that if they deliver their master recordings to a plant now, then sure, they can get their record pressed in August 2022.

She said vinyl sales will count towards her first week.

I don’t think other artist has produced that much!I thought Taylor was doing a lot with her 75k,but Adele literally destroyed them

It kind of saddens me how this affects indie artists. Like how Marina’s vinyl won’t be released until next year along with Bebe’s 

[Flawless 2,234]

Why there isn't more factories to receive all the demand?

[EART HL I NG 450]

Maybe they spread labor/ supply shortage rumors to throw us off and this is the real reason why vinyl production is so delayed 

[Cameltoe Chariot 15,230]

An important thing to note is that some of these will be limited edition versions, special colour vinyls, etc - meaning many collectors are going to be picking up multiple copies of the album on release day. It seems like a big number but when you consider her selling power + special editions it makes sense.

Amazon's version is a special edition white vinyl. That's the one I pre-ordered 

[Red 98,055]

She's gonna completely obliterate every artist that dares to release on the same week

[Mark 4,065]

the variants she dropped so far has been plain and basic. it matches the aesthetics ig. im living for her serve tho

[Juanlittlem 45,861]

I was hoping she'd release some interesting vinyls, but just a clear one and a white one is just too simple.
