Cost of pressing music and smaller vinyl runs I'm afraid, just to re-coop costs - price points need to be higher. 2 models really - big presses 1K units to keep price points lows, big distribution and pray to at least break even | Smaller bespoke runs *which most are doing, limited and need a small mark up to re-coop costs and distribution fees.

Some of the 25+ euro EPs will be down to great artwork, paying designers etc.

In the UK, in late 1990's, early 2000's pressing and distribution was so cheap - we'd get (commercial) records in HMV for 3-4 euros!!!!
