Ordered a vinyl of the original songs our high school band had written and recording 30 years ago (Yes, I’m that old). The product was fantastic. I bought one for myself and our singer as a gift. I would highly recommend this for music and vinyl fans. The cover quality looks professional and the colored vinyl is super cool. Product is great quality and shipping was quick.

This turned out better than I ever could have imagined! I created this as a gift for my best friend’s 40th birthday, compiling tracks from the bands he played in when we were younger. When he received it, he said, “This might be the best gift I’ve ever received.”
American Vinyl was phenomenal from start to finish. They ensured every single detail was perfect before pressing the record. With so many moving parts in a custom project like this, I was nervous something might go wrong—but the entire process was absolutely flawless.
I’m beyond impressed and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Turned out great. The set up process was good and I’m glad there’s time to adjust things even after submitting. I was able to fix my errors without starting completely over. I would recommend to my friends who are thinking of something like this.

Second order from American Vinyl, and I couldn’t be happier. Both orders have been for musician friends of mine, where I’ve made single run copies of their music, and the products coming from this company are so astounding there’s no doubt in my mind that I’ll be ordering from them again in the future. Incredible customer support and communication from the team as well as a high quality end product that has produced some of the most heartwarming reactions from my friends as they get to see their art physically in their hands. Could not give this team a higher appreciation and recommendation to anyone considering using their services.
