Huge thanks to everyone who supported this campaign, we really surpassed expectations and it went amazingly well. As soon as the Indiegogo funds clear the production will begin immediately on the vinyl! You can now pre-order the vinyl at our Bandcamp site here: dreamcatalogue.bandcamp.com/album/--18
Short Summary
We are hoping to take our label Dream Catalogue to the next level by kicking off vinyl releases, starting with our most popular album to date 新しい日の誕生 by 2814.
Due to lacquers and metalwork being so expensive to produce when it comes to vinyl, we need help to get this project off the ground by taking in pre-orders for the vinyl now.
We have done a lot of research and are using what we think to be the best vinyl pressing plant in the UK, recommended to us by top artists who have released vinyl mastered & pressed by them in the past, so top quality is definitely assured. The release will be a double 12" LP in 180g heavyweight black vinyl, housed in a professionally printed 5mm sleeve and will be of limited copies.
The bonus for purchasing this vinyl now, before the Indiegogo campaign ends, is that you will be able to get the vinyl at a lower price that it will be available for once all are pressed.
The vinyl edition will also contain the bonus track '余波', not available on the digital release.

What We Need & What You Get
Due to the fact the lacquering and metalwork are the most expensive part of creating a new vinyl album, we can't really produce an order that proves to be economical for vinyl unless we order at least 500 copies minimum, which is our primary goal with this campaign.
If there is enough demand, however, we will be able to produce more copies depending on whether or not we can beat our goal, so we are currently placing no limit on the amount we intend to press until the campaign is over.
The £4000 takes into account the cost of the vinyl, the cost of producing the tapes for the other perks, tax, and Indiegogo fees.
We have much experience in selling cassettes and CDs through Dream Catalogue over the past year and believe our next logical step is to start producing vinyl for our top releases.
We have listed the campaign as "flexible funding", as even if this campaign does not meet its goal, we will look into putting more of our own personal money into this to get it off the ground. However, we are confident we can meet the goal regardless and hopefully surpass it.
Other Perks
We are also looking to invite other forms of donations to this campaign to make sure it is a success, and here are further details of some of the other perks listed:
- 2814 and 新しい日の誕生 on cassette (Dream Catalogue editions)
We are creating 50 limited edition cassettes of both the album we are looking to produce the vinyl of, as well as the eponymous 2814 debut album, originally released digitally via Ailanthus Recordings.
Due to the fact selling the vinyl is our priority with this campaign, we are only selling these along with the vinyl in a larger bundle.
We will be using our regular tape supplier to create these, so you can trust they will be of the highest quality like our usual cassette releases.
Please note that these cassettes will be shipped out in advance of the vinyl and the pricing for this shipping is reflected in the cost of the perk.
- 2814 remix of any of your track
This perk is specifically aimed at music artists who wish to have any of their tracks remixed by 2814.
You will receive a high quality remix from the 2814 act for the set price. The remix time will be between 5 - 9 minutes in length and its style will be at our own discretion, depending on the feel we get for the song we have to remix in question.
When we have completed the remix, we will send you it in .wav format, at which point you will have full ownership of the remix and may use it in any way you wish, whether it be for digital release or any physical release you intend to do, and upon your release we will highlight it on our social media accounts if you wish for us to do so.
This perk is limited to one customer, due to time restraints of both producers.
Other Ways You Can Help
Even if you can't contribute to our campaign but want to help us, please try and promote this campaign to as many people as you possibly can and help us realise our DREAM of releasing this album on vinyl!
