FairSound
FairSound is a UK‑based vinyl preorder and fan‑funding platform built around a simple promise: artists can press vinyl with no upfront costs, using preorders to determine the final run size. It sits at the intersection of crowdfunding, D2C sales, and pressing‑plant integration — and because it’s operated by Press On Vinyl in Middlesbrough, it’s tightly coupled to real manufacturing capacity rather than being a purely financial middle layer.
