# The Pressing Report

> Every Friday: the new vinyl releases and reissues worth buying this week, from anywhere in the world, plus the turntable and audio tech, DJs, people and record shops making vinyl news. A free weekly worldwide vinyl newsletter in English. Each issue lists about 10 new vinyl releases, reissues and pre-orders (any genre, any country, any kind of pressing, all-analog or digitally sourced) with release date, label, price in the seller's currency when known, and a pressing note (source, mastering engineer, pressing plant) only when a cited source confirms it; otherwise it says "pressing details not yet confirmed." Each issue also has a gear/tech pick, a vinyl story (DJs, people, technology), quick news, and a record shop spotlight from anywhere in the world.

Key facts:
- Scope: worldwide. Everything vinyl: releases and reissues, all pressings, turntables and audio tech, pressing technology, DJ news and gear, people and stories, record shops around the world.
- Cadence: every Friday (Pacific Time). Free. Funded by labeled sponsors and affiliate links.
- Every claim in an issue links to its source (label pages, AnalogPlanet, SuperDeluxeEdition, Upcoming Vinyl, Record Collector, DJ Mag, retailer and shop sites).
