Recently launched, Merchant Vinyl Company aims to be the go-to spot for the independent music community’s vinyl pressing needs. Founded by Garrett Wadford after growing frustrated with the many hassles of pressing vinyl for his burgeoning punk rock label, Wadford’s goal with starting MVC was to make the entire process easier, faster, more efficient and more affordable for everybody. Garrett then brought on co-owners John Meloche and Lenneke Knape to help him carry out his vision.

Through passion for music, Merchant Vinyl started as a way to change the industry for the better. Through years of ordering vinyl for their bands and the label, they realized there was a better way. Keep it simple to order and view pricing on popular packages, keep the delivery times fast at 8 weeks and most importantly keep the cost down for everyone, but especially for the bands and labels that need smaller runs and a more affordable price while maintaining the utmost quality for clients large and small. The 3’s combined experience and industry knowledge along with a strong desire to change the industry as it now stands is proving to be a “game-changer” in the vinyl record pressing business.
