I'm just pumped! I did a quick search for CD duplication places, and sure enough, what used to be a teeth-pulling-like process has been refined into something far more spectacular. Check out this place, for example:
http://www.oasiscd.com/products/JewelCase.asp
They've got templates for artwork that you download (meaning dimensions and borders and stuff, not actual suggestions of what your artwork should look like), a bunch of options, and for a thousand CDs, it's under 1,500 bucks. Booya.
The whole thing has been pretty standardized, and it looks like there are a number of folks who offer very similar services. I guess it's all just about scheduling at this point.
Bonus: turn time on these deals is under 15 days.
A bit more digging around revealed this company:
http://www.discmakers.com/products/cd400.asp
They're a few hundred bucks cheaper than Oasis, and seem to offer the exact same products and services. Also highly recommended by CDBaby. For 999, we can get the full 1000 CDs in under 20 days. For 75 bucks more, we can get four color inserts printed on both sides. Looks like the turn-key product has four color on the outside of the inserts, black and white on the inside. I say for 75 extra bucks, we go full color all around. just like MNI! NICE!!!!
The good news here is that it looks like a christmas release is very doable, assuming that we get all of our songs finished. If we can wrap up recording by the first week in december, we can make it happen. End of November would be better, though we could always pay a few extra bucks for a five day turn time if need be.
