Wax Vessel was founded with the express purpose of creating collectors items. We strive to provide limited run vinyl pressings with no compromise. We will always have the most insane variants, on the highest quality materials. Wax Vessel is built on a few key pillars:
No represses. These are collectors items.
No plain black records.
No unit counts above 300 (and even that’s a stretch for a non-joint release).
No unauthorized presses. We don’t believe in boots, artists should be paid.
No CDs or cassettes.
No profit sharing. I do this because I love the format. Any profit is up to the band. They can donate or pocket it.
All releases are individually foil numbered in gold. Official pressing numbering will be out of 205 units - the base pressing plus the Wax Mage copies. Every order comes with extras in case of mistakes or items lost in shipping, but ‘overrun’ copies will be unnumbered, and not count towards official press numbers. We will track overruns in case anyone wants the “true” press count. All unnumbered copies are above the 205 count, so total pressing runs are 205 + overrun. To keep track:
