How It Works

Pressed to the Edge is built on one simple idea: a record only gets pressed when enough people want it. Here is exactly how that works from start to finish.

01 — Browse campaigns

Every campaign on the platform is an artist or label with a record ready to press. They have set a campaign price, a closing date, and a target of 100 pre-orders. Browse by genre, format, or just scroll until something stops you.

02 — Pre-order to pledge

When you pre-order a record, your payment is authorised but not charged. Think of it as a pledge. You are telling the artist: I want this record to exist, and I will pay for it when it does.

03 — The campaign hits its target

When 100 pre-orders are confirmed, the campaign funds. Your card is charged. The record goes to the pressing plant. You will receive an email confirmation with an estimated dispatch date.

04 — If the campaign does not fund

If a campaign closes without reaching 100 orders, no one is charged. Your authorisation is released automatically. No risk, no awkward refund requests.

05 — Your record arrives

Pressing and quality control typically takes 8 to 10 weeks. When your record ships, you will get a tracking notification. Then it arrives, you put it on, and that is the whole point.
