i would personally say 2000 vinyl is excessive for a first release i would personally go for 500-800 and get repressed if sales are good.

In terms of mcps i personally didn't bother for our first release as we did rip public enemy vocals so wasn't sure about the legality of it.

in terms of sorting distribution if your going with amato or intergroove have everything written down with projected sales, business plan basically do it properly. However if you want minimal paperwork go with a smaller distributor, however if you go with a smaller distributor definetly do not get 2000 records pressed as they just cant sell that many records unless your an in demand label with well known artists.

If you do go for it good luck, but i found that it took a lot longer than i orignally aniticipated to go from initial idea of having a label to actually getting it in the shops.
